Majestic Symphonic Grand Timpani

Symphonic Grand
Players at many levels require high performance...

Majestic has designed the Symphonic Grand series to include professional features and tone while incorporating a less complex block style pedal system with both hand and foot fine tuners for easy and precise tuning. Cambered copper kettles are standard equipment and are available with precision hammered or polished finish.
The cast frame features two main wheels and a double caster under the pedal arm, making it easy to move.
