ARMOR TIMPANI HEAD PROTECTOR 31 INCH CARPET LINED FELT

Designed for Timpani Drum Head Protection

This timpani head protector is designed to protect timpani drum heads during transport, storage, and general handling. Timpani heads are delicate playing surfaces that can be affected by pressure, impact, or environmental exposure. Using a dedicated timpani head protector helps maintain drum head condition and supports long-term instrument performance reliability.

The protector is manufactured as a circular panel designed to sit directly over the timpani head. Its lightweight design allows it to be positioned and removed easily while providing consistent coverage. This style of timpani protection is commonly used by orchestras, touring ensembles, and performance venues where timpani instruments are regularly moved or stored between performances.

Durable Materials and Controlled Manufacturing Standards

The protector is constructed using 9MM birch veneer laminated plywood with HPL exterior face and PVC interior face. Birch veneer plywood provides strong structural stability while maintaining low overall weight. The high pressure laminate exterior improves durability and resistance to handling wear.

The underside of the protector features a carpeted felt layer applied to the PVC interior surface. This soft backing rests gently against the timpani drum head and helps reduce the risk of scratching or pressure damage during storage or transport.

Plywood edges are rounded to improve handling safety and minimize accidental instrument contact. The edges are painted black to improve durability and maintain a professional finish. The exterior surface includes an engraved honeycomb pattern which improves surface strength and provides visual identification.

Each protector is precision manufactured following controlled production standards to maintain consistent dimensions, finish quality, and structural reliability.

Functional Features Focused on Instrument Preservation

The circular cut-out design provides full timpani head coverage while maintaining lightweight handling characteristics. This reduces additional load on the drum and allows quick placement during setup and pack-down procedures.

The felt backing helps absorb minor vibration and prevents direct contact between the plywood surface and timpani drum heads. This helps preserve drum head tension integrity and surface condition, which is essential for maintaining accurate timpani tuning and sound performance
