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

All our timpani are safe and perfectly packed in custom-made Preissler flight cases. They can be used – like all our orchestral instruments – not only for concerts in Berlin and the surrounding countryside of Brandenburg. We also rent them for concert tours / orchestra travels of international orchestras coming to Germany and Europe.  For this purpose we also offer our professional orchestra transport. No matter if Hamburg, Munich, Frankfurt, or Prague, Paris, Barcelona and Amsterdam. Under certain circumstances you can hire our timpani sets even worldwide.

Timpani for international setup

Our special service for all incoming orchestras to Germany and Europe from abroad: With us you can hire timpani for international/American setup. From the player’s perspective, this allows the usual international setup with the lowest timpani on the left and the highest timpani on the right. Also the tuning gauges on these timpani sets are mounted precisely for this setup.

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 this is how the timpani are positioned. For international timpanists who have no experience with it, it can become an insoluble problem.

Accessories for timpani

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