Prophonic Series

Finally a transportable timpani with professional sound qualities...

Until now timpani players had to choose between either collapsible timpani without a professional sound or professional sounding timpani without the possibility of easy transport. All of the folding timpani on the market had their complete tension mechanisms inside the kettles. The newly invented and patented Prophonic timpani have finally solved the challenge of a fully suspended and free sounding timpani kettle.

The Prophonic combines the superior sound quality of the Symphonic Grand series with the easy transportability of the Harmonic series. In fact, the legs around the kettle protect the copper from damage and denting.

Majestic Prophonic timpani are easy to travel with – 4 pieces can be moved in larger vehicle and 2 pieces will fit inside the smallest car. They are also much easier to store because they need far less space than traditional timpani.
