Timpani Adams Philharmonic Light

Adams Philharmonic Light Timpani feature the original and industry standard ratchet-free pedal system.

The Philharmonic Light’s Ratchet-Free Pedal System has no intermeshing teeth, allowing the player to pinpoint any pitch without restriction. Numerous advancements established the Philharmonic Light as the benchmark for innovation in timpani manufacture—the original, adjustable split rocker arm, the adjustable length transfer bar, foot and tilting stabilizers, adjustable foot pedal resistance, and a tuning gauge positionable to the player’s exact viewing angle.  Deep drawn bowls are suspended on long bronze struts for a full, open, and ringing sound. The frame construction and features create timpani that will not distort or go sharp as the player increases volume.  From whisper soft to the loudest end of the dynamic spectrum, Philharmonic Light Timpani project beautifully and are virtually impossible to overplay.
