Description

Adams 26″ Universal Copper Timpani is a dependable, mid-range timpano that delivers warm, resonant tone and reliable performance in a lightweight, easy-to-use design. Ideal for schools, community ensembles, and percussion programs, it offers professional sound quality with the convenience and portability of Adams’ Universal Series.

Materials and Build Quality

The 26″ bowl is deep-drawn from seamless polished copper and shaped into a traditional parabolic profile. This construction produces a rich, full tone with excellent projection in the E–B range. The copper shell not only looks striking but also enhances resonance and clarity—making it suitable for both classical and modern repertoire.

The balanced-action pedal system allows for smooth, responsive tuning. A built-in fine-tuning gauge provides quick visual pitch reference, while the heavy-duty counterhoop and high-tension lugs ensure stable, consistent tuning. The timpano is mounted on a lightweight aluminum suspension frame with height adjustment and large locking casters—making transport, setup, and positioning fast and easy.

Performance and Use Case

The 26″ Universal Copper Timpani is a versatile choice for educational institutions, university percussion studios, and ensemble players. It offers the perfect midrange voice in a four- or five-drum setup and pairs seamlessly with other sizes in the Universal Series. Whether in rehearsals, performances, or on tour, it delivers dependable tuning and resonant sound in a portable, affordable format.
