Timpani rental for concert tour / orchestra travel to Germany & Europe

Since 1992, and thus for well over 30 years, we have specialized in renting all types of timpani to touring classical orchestras from all over the world. For this reason, our timpani are perfectly and safely packaged in custom-made Preissler timpani flight cases, based on our many years of experience.

Like all our orchestral instruments, all timpani can be used not only for concerts in Berlin and the surrounding state of Brandenburg. For major concert tours/orchestra travels of international orchestras within Germany and Europe, the instruments can also be rented for transport by orchestra truck or air freight. No matter if Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, Dresden, or Prague, Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam.

Timpani for international / American setup

Our special service for all orchestras coming to Germany and Europe from abroad:

Upon request, we rent timpani for the international / American setup. In this international standard setup, the lowest timpani is on the left and the highest timpani is on the right, as viewed from the player’s perspective. The tuning gauges on these timpani are also specially mounted for this configuration.

Attention, very important to know: In Germany, Austria and parts of Europe, it is exactly the other way around. The pitch increases from left to right, and the timpani are positioned accordingly. For international timpanists who have no experience with this setup and are suddenly expected to play in this way, it’s impossible and an unsolvable problem.

Accessories for timpani

As accessories for timpani you can hire:

• Special KOLBERG timpani chairs with swiveling seat.
• Holders / mallet rakes for timpani mallets and trap tables made by KOLBERG.
• Wooden cross stands for Baroque timpani.
• A wide range of professional timpani mallets of different brands.
