Adams Schnellar Classical Salon Kurbel Sonnberg head 24in/59cm grey powdercoated

Schnellar Classical

Inspired by Hans Schnellars original salon timpani, owned by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, are these replicas equipped with a new bottom and a refined crank technique. The Adams Schnellar Classical timpani stand for the highest quality in sound and perfect functionality. 

For anyone looking for a set of timpani for repertoire from the late Baroque, Classical or early Romantic period, these instruments are a feast for the eyes and ears.

The handmade bowls have a diameter of 550, 610, 650 and 690 mm. The instruments come with Sonnberg goat skins. These goat parchments are made from rawhide and thus provide a richer variety of overtones. In addition, they have a very pronounced fundamental note, which gives the perfect bass foundation, especially for larger drums.
