• Pedal balance spring mechanism
Your Yamaha pedal timpani is equipped with a unique
pedal balance spring mechanism (a coil spring coun
teracting the tension of the head) which allows you to
freely change the pitch (note) of the instrument at an
instant. When the pedals are moved, the pitch of the
head will change, and the balance spring ensures that
the pedal angle (pitch) will not change when you re
move your foot from the pedal.
