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 carefully. 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.

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.

PRECAUTIONS

•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.

Before Using The Pedal Timpani

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 “Correct”.

Correct

Wrong

Kettle	Counter	Kettle	Counter
edge	Collar hoop	edge	Collar hoop

If the collar is not uniform (illustration titled “Wrong”), keep the heel of the pedal fully depressed 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 indicator 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.

Caution Never put your hands etc. under the pedal.
