Sonor V-1553 Screw adjustment timpani 16” drum, 10” deep, natural Birch 4-ply shell, calfskin head, west German made.  Lever screw tune control gives a range of approx. E -c.  Can be used as a tunable floor tom in a kit as well as an ensemble timpani.   This drum was part of an old school piano and music teachers’ collection and has been well cared for, although not necessarily fully maintained.  Some screws are loose and the three legs are no longer with the drum.  The tuning mechanisms works perfectly and the sound of the drum is wonderful.  A soft, plush beater is included. There is a small hole in the head, near the edge which does not affect playability (see photos).  This is a wonderful small band or group Timpani, or could be used as a floor Tom in a drum kit.  4-ply birch shell and calfskin head give great, even tone and resonance.
