Hey guys,

Odd OT here, I just got a phone call from the Junior High Band Director in my area and she has been trying to get the wheels off her 32"; Yamaha Timpani.  Tried to remove the wheels the way I do at the university here and it doesn't work on ours.  Anyone know off the top of their heads how to remove the wheels to get it through a door.  Ours at ISU just pull off and have a shaft with a rubber grommet around it. One good yank and they are off.  Not so with these.  They were purchased in the mid 90's and are your standard Yamaha.  Sorry i don't have a model number.  Thanks to anyone who can help.

This might seem like the standard response, but I bet if you called someone in the percussion department at Yamaha they could help you out.

shoot an email to Joel Tzlaff. . .
