Remo Weatherking Standard Hazy Timpani Heads
Determining size
The size of your timpani
head is determined by the diameter of the bowl itself. Measure the old head from the outer edges, if this measurement exceeds
the bowl size by more than 1-3/4 inches, you need an extended collar head. If you are not sure of which size to get, call
us and well help out.
Be careful when removing old timpani heads
Pedal type timpani tuning mechanisms are
spring loaded. The pedal will move to the toe down forward position - do not try to hold it back. Also, do not adjust the
balancing spring tension. When replacing head, the opposite reaction will take place. It is recommended to use a small dab
of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly on the threads of the key rods for lubrication. Be sure to clean the bearing edge of the bowl.
It should be smooth to the touch. If possible, apply a very thin film of paraffin wax to the bearing edge before replacing
heads.
