Innovative tuning system
A base with only three legs was developed to enhance the tonal character of a unique tuning system, in which the tension rods and head stay stationary, while the bowl itself moves vertically to change pitch. Adams Schnellar timpani are available in 20”, 23”, 25”, 26”, 28”, 29” and 32” sizes.

All Professional Series timpani provide two wheels, each designed with a braking mechanism that prevents the wheel from not only turning, but also from rotating.

Adams Professional Series timpani are offered in all standard sizes, and are available in hammered cambered copper, polished copper, hammered copper and fiberglass bowl materials.

Custom marimba cases
The new custom marimba cases are specially designed to protect all parts of the instruments, as well as simplify transportation. There are separate bag sets for the 5.0 Artist Marimba, the 4.6 Marimba and the 4.3 Marimba. Each set of bags also has special storage for the Voyager frame that accompanies each instrument.
