With another timpani + tuning gauges, the percussionists can play a larger range of notes, rounding out the sound of the band, balancing against that high woodwind notes. They will be able to play more pieces, thus add to the repertoire of the band. Many timpani parts require 4 different notes in a passage with quick and difficult tuning changes. A 4th timpani allows 1.75 more octaves. Tuning gauges will substitute the use of a tuner or pitch pipe, and benefit during rapid tuning changes.
Saint Cloud Municipal Band uses local high school band rooms and percussion equipment for practices as we currently don't have our own home. Space limitations on our venue platform prevent use of all timpani this summer. The new timpani won't be used/eval
