10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 60 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 60 days to 60 days (terms apply after 60 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Superior tone

The Premier Elite Pedal Timpani has been precisely crafted to produce a full-bodied, organic sound. Created with orchestral playing specifically in mind, its parabolic shape focusses the internal reflections to a single point, for a more coherent and reliable tone across the entire tuning range.

Every element of the bowl's design has been manufactured to Premier's meticulous specification. A uniform wall thickness, and highly polished finish ensure a timbre that's consistent, while responding to the demanding dynamic range of orchestral performances.

Simple, solid tuning

Practical playability is at the forefront of the Premier Elite's design, and that begins with its tuning system. As well as an improved, smoother pedal mechanism, the Elite's 'Shield' tuning gauge has been revised and revamped for maximum visibility and easy operation. Fed directly from the pedal, the gauge is incredibly accurate, making it ideal for high pressure scenarios.

Elite series timpani also boast a crown wheel for fine-tuning of the instrument’s overall pitch. Combined with the pedal, this guarantees speedy and accurate tuning and pitch changes.

International sizes

Premier's Elite Series of timpani has been created to incorporate an 'international' range of sizes. The standard 32", 29", 26", and 23" diameter instruments produce a 9" overall span, creating a range of tuning options, so you can always select the timpani with the ideal tone for the note you require.

Premier Remo Renaissance heads

Each Premier Elite timpani comes fitted with an outstanding, Remo Renaissance head. These durable, resonant skins offer impressive sensitivity, with an aluminium insert ring providing extra resilience, stability, and projecting a focussed, warm tone across the entire dynamic range of the instrument.

Historic percussion

The Premier name has been synonymous with top quality, specialist orchestral percussion for more than 70 years. Trusted for generations by principal percussionists in some of the world's most famous ensembles, Premier timpani are renowned for their natural, musical timbre, unbeatable durability, and fantastic, player-friendly features.
