Portable
Tour Timps from Orpheus Music
January
29, 1998The Tour Timp is a revolutionary design incorporating an open shell design
on a folding stand with a pedal mechanism. The result is an instrument that is
the ultimate in portability that does not compromise the sound quality. Marcus
de Mowbray, English percussionist and inventor, has taken the concept of the timpani
sound, and designed an instrument that astounds everyone who hears it - and, he
has done it without the bowl! Available in sizes from 23-32", the Tour Timps
now available in the U.S., have gained acceptance, not just with drummers who
want to add a timpani sound to their drum set, but with timpanists who need instruments
that are portable, and do not compromise the basic sound quality of the timpani.
These are drums you can get to the choir loft, the orchestra pit, the bandstand,
the marching field, or anywhere you need the sound of timpani. Set up takes
about 30 seconds per drum, so you can get a set of four ready for performance
in about two minutes. The Tour Timps rival expensive concert timpani in sound.
The versatility and durability will make them a favorite with all percussionists.
Conventional plastic heads are used on the Tour Timps and replacements are available
world wide. Tour Timps have already found their way onto stages and marching
fields around the world. Orpheus Music is proud to exclusively present them to
the American and Inter-national market. For
