Thank you for selecting a Yamaha musical instrument.
We are confident that the instrument will bring you years of musical
enjoyment and satisfaction. Please read through this booklet care-
fully. It contains important information about your instrument's care.
Your new Yamaha instrument, like all Yamaha musical instruments,
is the result of careful planning, testing and assembly using select
materials. Proper care will ensure that your Yamaha instrument will
deliver its full and rich sound for years to come.
• Fully depress the heel of the tuning pedal after use.
• Protect the head from heat, moisture, oil, and dust. Use a soft cloth to remove
dust and other foreign matter from the head surface, and cover the head with
the head protector when not in use.
• When using plastic heads such as the one initially supplied, loosening of the
head after use is not required.
• The kettle is very sensitive to shock and must not be bumped against another
object. Also, do not forget to remove dirt using a polishing cloth from time to
time.
PRECAUTIONS
When using the pedal timpani for the first time after unpacking, make
sure to set it up according to the instructions of section “Before Using
The Pedal Timpani” on pages 4 and 5.

Your Yamaha pedal timpani is equipped with a plastic head carefully mounted and tuned
(adjusted to a note) at the factory, and thus can be used after setup immediately. However,
new heads will tend to stretch gradually during shipping and storage, resulting in a tuning
deviation when you receive the instrument. Therefore, please perform the steps below to
restore the tuning to the factory setting prior to shipment:
1 The area between the kettle edge and the inner
circle of the counter hoop is called the collar.
Please make sure that the width of this collar is
uniform, as shown in the illustration titled “Cor-
rect”.
If the collar is not uniform (illustration titled
“Wrong”), keep the heel of the pedal fully de-
pressed as shown in Fig. C, and align head and
hoop as shown in the illustration titled “Correct”.
2 Make sure that the end of the wire tube is not
disengaged from the adjuster of the tuning indi-
cator as shown in Fig. A. If it is disengaged,
insert it into the adjuster as shown in Fig. B.
3 If the heel of the pedal is fully lowered as in Fig.
C, proceed with step 5.
If the pedal position is as shown in Fig. D or the
toe of the pedal is fully lowered, perform step
4
first.
4 Fully depress the heel of the pedal as shown in
Fig. C. Hold the pedal in this position, as it will
return otherwise.
Never put your hands etc. under the
pedal.

5 Using the supplied timpani key, tighten the tun-
ing bolts by 1/4 of a turn (90°) in the order
shown below. It is very important to always
turn all tuning bolts by the same amount.
9 Tighten each tuning bolt by 1/8 of a turn (45°) in
the order shown in step
5.
10 ● Toe and heel feel equal
→ Go to step
11
● Heel still feels heavier than toe
→ Repeat steps
8 through 10
● Heel feels lighter than toe
→ Head is tightened too much. Loosen the
head as described in step
7.
11 Move the pedal into an intermediate position, as
shown in Fig. D, and remove your foot from the
pedal. Confirm that the pedal stays in this posi-
tion and does not move.
If the pedal stops in this position, adjust-
ment is complete. Return the pedal to the
position shown in Fig. C.
● If the toe of the pedal moves downward
→ Repeat steps
8 through 10.
● If the heel of the pedal moves downward
→ Head is tightened too much. Loosen the
head as described in step
7.
12 Strike the head lightly with the supplied mallet
etc. The standard striking point is shown below.
6 Take your foot off the pedal.
● Heel still moves up
→ Repeat steps
4 through 6.
● Heel stays down
→ Go to step
7.
7 Put your foot on the pedal and fully depress it in
either direction (toe and heel).
● Heel feels heavier than toe
→ Go to step 8.
● Toe and heel feel equal
→ Go to step
11.
● Heel feels lighter than toe
→ Head is tightened too much. Loosen the
head. Keeping the heel of the pedal de-
pressed, loosen the first tuning bolt by 1/
2 turn and then retighten it by 1/4 of a
turn. Perform this operation for all other
tuning bolts in the order shown in step
5.
If necessary, repeat this procedure, until
proper tension is obtained.
8 Fully depress the heel of the pedal as shown in
Fig. C.
As the head will stretch over time, readjustment should be performed periodi-
cally (starting with step
7 )
For note comparison a piano is most suitable.
When the toe of the pedal is depressed, a higher
pitch is obtained.
For details on precise tuning refer to “Adjusting
The Sound Of Your Timpani” on the following
page.
The standard striking
point lies at distance
B from the kettle
edge, which
corresponds to 1/4 to
1/3 of distance A
(distance between
kettle edge and
center of head).

Adjusting The Sound Of Your Timpani
Striking point
Pedal
When using the pedal timpani for the first time after unpacking, make sure to set it up according
to the instructions of section “Before Using The Pedal Timpani” on pages 4 and 5.
When loosening the tuning bolts, always
loosen them by double the desired amount,
and then return (retighten) them by half.
When the sound lies within 1 halftone
below the desired pitch after loosening
the tuning bolts (repeatedly, if necessary),
proceed with step
3.
3 Lightly strike the head with the mallet about 2
inch (5 cm) from the kettle edge at each tuning
bolt. Check at which tuning bolt the sound is
highest.
● Pitch of highest sound higher than tuning
note
→ Loosen the corresponding tuning bolt by
about 1/16 to 1/8 of a turn. First loosen
the bolt by double the desired amount,
and then return (retighten) it by half. After
loosening the tuning bolt, repeat from the
beginning of step
3.
● Pitch of highest sound lower than tuning
note
→ Go to step
4.
4 Tighten the other bolts little by little (by about 1/
16 to 1/8 of a turn) until the sounds at the corre-
sponding striking points match the pitch of the
highest sound. Please note that tightening of
one bolt will also raise the pitch at the neighbor-
ing and opposite tuning bolts. Thus, after tight-
ening the tuning bolt with the lowest sound, first
reconfirm the sound at the other tuning bolts
before tightening the tuning bolt with the next
lower sound. While alternately tightening the other
bolts, do not touch the tuning bolt with the high-
est sound (reference pitch).
5 Loosen all overtightened bolts according to the
procedure described in step
3. When the pitch is
approximately the same at each bolt, repeatedly
depress the toe and heel of the pedal several
times.
1 Tuning is performed for the lowest sound (note)
of the timpani.
For this reason, the heel of the pedal must stay
fully lowered during the tuning procedure.
The proper lowest note (and tonal range) de-
pends on the size of your timpani. For example,
as shown in the figure below, the lowest sound
of a 26” timpani should be tuned to A. When
tuned properly, your Yamaha timpani will give
you its full tonal range without being
overtensioned.
z Head Tuning* (* Adjusting the head tension to a specific note)
■ Standard Tonal Ranges for Yamaha Timpani
Keep the heel of the pedal fully lowered during
the tuning procedure (steps
2 through 7 below) if
not specified otherwise.
2 Strike the head and check the sound. The stan-
dard striking point is shown below.
● Sound lower than tuning note
→ Go to step
3.
● Sound higher than tuning note
→ Loosen tuning bolts by an equal amount
in the order shown in the figure of step
5
on page 5.
The standard striking
point lies at distance
B from the kettle
edge, which corre-
sponds to 1/4 to 1/3 of
distance A (distance
between kettle edge
and center of head).

6 Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the pitch at each
bolt is exactly the same.
7 Check the sound by striking the head as de-
scribed in step
2.
● Sound lower than tuning note
→ Tune the instrument by tightening all tun-
ing bolts by an equal amount (max. 1/16
of a turn).
● Sound higher than tuning note
→ Tune the instrument by loosening all tun-
ing bolts by an equal amount (max. 1/16
of a turn) according to the procedure de-
scribed in step
3.
8 Operate the pedal as described in step 5. If the
pitch does not change, the instrument is tuned
properly.
(If the pitch changes, repeat from step
7.)
The instrument is now tuned to the lowest sound
(note) of its tonal range. Depress the toe of the
pedal to change to a higher pitch (note).
9 After tuning, perform x Pedal Adjustment and
then c Tuning Indicator Adjustment.
x Pedal Adjustment
● Pedal balance spring mechanism
Your Yamaha pedal timpani is equipped with a unique
pedal balance spring mechanism (a coil spring coun-
teracting the tension of the head) which allows you to
freely change the pitch (note) of the instrument at an
instant. When the pedals are moved, the pitch of the
head will change, and the balance spring ensures that
the pedal angle (pitch) will not change when you re-
move your foot from the pedal.
Note
Caution
After depressing the toe and heel of the pedal, turn
the spring tension adjustment bolt as described be-
low.
● Heel moves up when releasing the foot from
the pedal after depressing the heel, or heel
feels heavier than toe
→ Turn the spring tension adjustment bolt to
the left (counterclockwise)
● Toe moves up when releasing the foot from
the pedal after depressing the toe, or toe feels
heavier than heel
→ Turn the spring tension adjustment bolt to
the right (clockwise)
Turning the spring tension adjustment bolt is per-
formed using the timpani key. Do not turn by too
many full rotations at once, but re-check the adjust-
ment state every 2 turns by depressing the toe and
heel of the pedal.
Do not loosen the spring tension ad-
justment bolt by more 3 rotations at a
time, as the toe of the pedal tends to
drop abruptly after a specific point.
Never put your hands etc. under the
pedal.

● Adjusting the Pointer Position
First loosen the pointer lock nut and then turn the
adjuster as follows:
● Pointer is located beyond the lower rail end
when heel of pedal is lowered fully (lowest
note)
→ Turn the adjuster to the left (counterclock-
wise) until the pointer is aligned with the
lowest note of the indicator.
● Pointer moves beyond the upper rail end
before toe of pedal reaches end of stroke,
or
Pointer does not reach lower rail end when
heel of pedal is lowered fully (lowest sound)
→ Turn the adjuster to the right (clockwise) to
correct the pointer position as required.
After adjustment, securely tighten the pointer lock
nut.
c Tuning Indicator Adjustment
The tuning indicator shows to which note the pedal is
set. After tuning the instrument, you must set each
note of the indicator to its proper position.
1 After you have tuned your timpani to the lowest
note of its tonal range, make sure that the pointer
is located within 10 mm from the pedal-side end
of the indicator rail.
* If not, adjust referring to “Adjusting the Pointer
Position”.
2 Slide the lowest note of the indicator (“A” in case
of a 26” timpani — see “Standard Tonal Ranges
for Yamaha Timpani” on page 6) to the position
where its center line coincides with the pointer.
3 Tune the instrument to the next higher pitch
(note) by moving the pedal, and then slide the
corresponding note on the rail to the respective
pointer position. Repeat for each note.
* The tuning indicator can be set to a desired angle
by loosening the indicator mounting screw using a
Phillips screwdriver.

PAC adjustment bolt
The PAC (Pedal Adjustment Clutch) is an original
Yamaha mechanism that enables you to adjust the
pedal’s rotational torque (the force required to move
the pedal) by altering the amount of friction within the
pedal balance spring mechanism.
Using the PAC, you can adjust the rotational torque
of the pedal to a comfortable pedal force without
degrading the smooth pedal action. In addition, the
PAC is useful in preventing undesirable happenings
such as slight movement of the pedal when the head
is struck strongly causing a small change in pitch.
● PAC Adjustment
Use the timpani key to turn the PAC adjustment bolt
as follows:
Turn the PAC adjustment bolt to the right (clockwise)
to tighten the pedal movement.
To return the tightened pedal movement to the initial
rotational torque setting, turn the PAC adjustment
bolt to the left (counterclockwise).
* Be sure to turn the timpani key using one hand
only.
* Do not use both hands or an additional tool.
The TP-50xx (H/G) / TP-70xx (H) series use a
wing bolt on the PAC adjustment system.
Note on PAC Usage
• The pedal cannot be locked with the PAC,
even at its tightest position.
(Do not try to use the PAC for locking the
pedal, for example to prevent the toe of the
pedal from jumping up when the head is re-
moved.)
• The PAC adjustment bolt has limit positions in
both turning directions. If the bolt is hard to
turn, do not force to overtighten it because this
may cause damage to the mechanism.

Moving And Setup Your Timpani
Mounting plate
Pedal
Base
Locking shaft
Hold the instrument by
its frame and push in
the direction opposite
the pedal.
* The illustration shows a pedal timpani of the TP-62xx
series.
After setting up the timpani, lock the other two
casters to stabilize the instrument during perfor-
mance. Also, the pedal wheel should be removed
for performance. If it is left attached, it may be
the cause of noise and will also result in different
head angles when several timpani of different
size are used.
The timpani can easily be moved when the third
wheel is attached to the pedal section as shown on
the right. Attaching and removing the third wheel can
be performed easily.
To move the timpani on a flat surface, make sure to
hold it by the frame section on the pedal side and
push it in the direction opposite the pedal (see
illustration below).
Never hold the instrument by the counter hoop, as
this may result in a deformation of the head or the
counter hoop.
On gravel and stairways the instrument should not
pushed on its casters. Instead, to prevent damage, it
should be lifted by its frame and carried by at least
two persons.
● Attaching and Removing the Third Wheel
1) Hook the mounting plate of the wheel onto
the base end, and, while pushing both ends
of the locking shaft in the direction of the
timpani, push the wheel up in the direction of
the arrow, engaging the locking shaft into
the groove of the base.
2) To remove, disengage the locking shaft by
fully pushing both ends in the direction of the
timpani, and pull the wheel down.
To stabilize the timpani, push down the “ON”
side of the caster lock.
Using the Third Wheel (TP-70xx Series)
The third wheel can be easily moved in or out of
position with a single motion. To use the third
wheel, lean the tympani slightly forward to lift
the pedal off the ground then use your foot to
manipulate the wheel into the desired position.

Caution
Replacing The Head
1 To prevent the pedal from being pulled down by
the spring force, the heel of the pedal must be
kept down (this can easily be accomplished by
placing a piece of wood or a softball between
the base and the pedal) while the tuning bolts
are loosened alternately in the proper sequence.
3 Place the new head with the hoop on the kettle.
When using a Yamaha timpani head, its YAMAHA
logo must be on the side opposite the pedal.
The hoop must be re-mounted in the same po-
sition as marked with cellophane tape in step
2.
Tighten the tuning bolts alternately by hand until
the head is tensioned slightly. At this time, make
sure that head and hoop are centered on the
kettle.
Tighten each tuning bolt an additional 1/4 of a
turn using the timpani key. Repeat at least 4
times.
4 Adjust the timpani as described on pages 4 and
5, “Before Using The Pedal Timpani”, starting
with step
5. For precise tuning, refer to the section
“Adjusting The Sound Of Your Timpani” on
page 6.
2 After removing all tuning bolts, mark the pedal
side of the hoop with cellophane tape etc. and
then remove the head together with the hoop. At
this time, be careful not to lose any of the tuning
bolts and prevent dust from adhering.
Also, avoid touching the tuning bolt threads, as
they are greased.
● Interval For Head Replacement
The maximum head life normally is approxi-
mately 2 years and depends on the frequency
and duration of use. However, the head should
always be replaced before the sound quality
deteriorates dramatically. If a head is left on
and used more than two years, the following
problems may occur:
• It may become impossible to tune the
head to the proper pitch range.
• It may become impossible to balance
the pedal.
• The main unit mechanisms themselves
may become damaged.
When the head is slightly tensioned and its
surface looks wavy or shows dents, it is time to
replace the head with a new one.
* Be careful not to make any scratches in the tape
attached to the kettle edge. If the tape is peeling or
badly damaged, it must be replaced with timpani
edge tape (Teflon™ tape).
Never put your hands etc. under the
pedal.
