LP Giovanni Series Prestige Timbales - Product Information
LP Giovanni Series Prestige Timbales are carefully crafted to Giovanni's personal specs in order to faithfully recreate the ultra-articulate sound of timbales from the "Palladium days" of the 1950s—the heyday of Latin big bands.
Giovanni Series Prestige Timbales start with 6-½"x13" and 6-½"x14" phosphor bronze shells that feature a wide space between the top and bottom ribs to create an expanded cascara playing area. The shells are left in their natural bronze color, but given a unique combination finish. The top and bottom edges and the ribs shine with a high gloss, while a special sanding and buffing process creates a satin finish in the center area.
The LP Giovanni Series Prestige Timbales also feature a recessed "top key tuning" system that utilizes oversize bolts to ensure even and secure tuning. A special key is secured in a holder as part of the heavy-duty stand that comes with the timbales. Also included are a cowbell bracket and a pair of timbale sticks.
Just like their namesake, LP's Giovanni Series Prestige Timbales are warm, expressive, and colorful. They feature the finest in contemporary design and construction, while serving as a modern embodiment of Latin music history—providing the best of yesterday and today.
