I am selling my two original Henry Potter & Co copper timpani which are approx 24” and 27”. I am also selling a Boosey & Hawkes copper timpani size approx 22” which fits extremely well, to make this a great set of 3.
These drums were refurbished and re headed with white calf heads by Peter Woods of Potters around 15 years ago and although all drums work perfectly well and the heads still have life in them, I would recommend giving these drums some TLC. They are antique and well used and have multiple scuffs, scratches, dings and dents…most notably on the bottom of the Boosey & Hawkes and on the 24” Henry Potters drum as per the photo attached. With some TLC these drums could be returned to their former glory, or you could just leave them as they are. They sound fantastic.
Sale is for the 3 timpani and the old stands as per the photo. No cases or covers.
Pickup is from central Edinburgh only.
Best offers welcome.
