The fine tuner was moved to the player&#8217;s side, the pedal mechanism was given the long lever arm, and the cast-iron frame was replaced by a lighter aluminium construction. This is how the Berlin timpani was born, which still enjoys a worldwide reputation today.

Each one is unique, hammered entirely by hand from the cut to the finished kettle. The low and even thickness of the material over the entire surface of the kettle, which differs depending on the size of the kettle, and ensures a particularly easy resonance and the typical Berlin sound, which is unmatched in every register.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\t<p>\r\n\t\t<strong>Improved Kettle-Frame Connection<\/strong><br>\r\n\t\tOnly D\u00d6RFLER timpani have the edge of the kettle hammered directly onto the kettle ring. This results in an unrivalled transmission of vibrations to the aluminium frame. On the one hand, the sound behaviour of the kettle is enhanced, while on the other hand, the resonances are passed on to the podium floor, which is thus used as an additional resonance factor.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\t<p>\r\n\t\t<strong>Mechanics<\/strong><br>\r\n\t\tThe proven mechanics are built with the greatest precision using modern manufacturing methods and, after high-gloss chrome plating, are assembled by hand with the utmost accuracy of fit. The result optimally supports your sense of sound. Rattling fine tuner grips, stiff pedals and irregularly shaped letters are a thing of the past.\r\n\t<\/p>\r\n\t\r\n\t<div class=\"dkps_50column-l\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"dkps_content-l\">\r\n\t\t<div style=\"width: 482px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone dkps_imgcaption\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/dkps_dateien\/sites\/3\/pauken-stimmanzeige.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1040\" data-lbwps-height=\"693\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"http:\/\/www.klassik-percussion.de\/en\/wp-content\/dkps_dateien\/sites\/3\/pauken-stimmanzeige-300x200.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"&lt;strong&gt;D\u00d6RFLER Orchestra Pedal Timpani&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;\ntuning gauge\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/dkps_dateien\/sites\/3\/pauken-stimmanzeige.jpg\" alt=\"Tuning gauge\" title=\"click to enlarge\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The improved legibility of the tuning gauge, installed level with the counter hoop, is especially popular in opera orchestras.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<div class=\"dkps_50column-r\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"dkps_content-r\">\r\n\t\t<div style=\"width: 482px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone dkps_imgcaption\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/dkps_dateien\/sites\/3\/pauken-pedal.jpg\" data-lbwps-width=\"1040\" data-lbwps-height=\"693\" data-lbwps-srcsmall=\"http:\/\/www.klassik-percussion.de\/en\/wp-content\/dkps_dateien\/sites\/3\/pauken-pedal-300x200.jpg\" data-lbwps-caption=\"&lt;strong&gt;D\u00d6RFLER Orchestra Pedal Timpani&lt;\/strong&gt;&lt;br \/&gt;\nratchet pedal system\">\r\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/dkps_dateien\/sites\/3\/pauken-pedal.jpg\" alt=\"Ratchet pedal system\" title=\"click to enlarge\" \/>\r\n\t\t<\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The maintenance-free ratchet segment of the old Berlin timpani has been refined by 30&percnt;
