Majestic Holland BV introduces the Prophonic timpani series
Up till now timpani players had to choose between collapsible timpani without professional sound and professional sounding timpani without the possibility of easy transport. Having it both was not possible because all available folding timpani needed their complete tension mechanism inside the kettle. Because of that a full suspended and free sounding timpani kettle was not possible. The Majestic invented and patented Prophonic timpani finally solve this problem!
The Prophonic combines the superior sound qualities of the Symphonic (Grand) series with the easy transportability of the Harmonic series.
The transportability of the Prophonics is even better thanks to the legs around the kettle that protect the copper from damaging and denting. The deep cambered kettle is made out of one piece copper. The kettle is full suspended because it has no tuning mechanism inside, no steel rims on top or tension blocks mounted outside. As a result of that the best possible sound characteristics.
The Majestic Prophonics are not only easy to travel with - 4 pieces can be moved in a larger station wagon and 2 pieces will go inside the smallest car - they are also much easier to store because they need far less space than traditional timpani.
