Yamaha TP-5000 Owner's Manual - Page 2

Thank you for selecting a Yamaha musical instrument. We are confident that the instrument will bring you years of musical enjoyment and satisfaction. Please read through this booklet carefully. It contains important information about your instrument's care. Your new Yamaha instrument, like all Yamaha musical instruments, is the result of careful planning, testing and assembly using select materials. Proper care will ensure that your Yamaha instrument will deliver its full and rich sound for years to come. When using the pedal timpani for the first time after unpacking, make sure to set it up according to the instructions of section "Before Using The Pedal Timpani" on pages 4 and 5. PRECAUTIONS • Fully depress the heel of the tuning pedal after use. • Protect the head from heat, moisture, oil, and dust. Use a soft cloth to remove dust and other foreign matter from the head surface, and cover the head with the head protector when not in use. • When using plastic heads such as the one initially supplied, loosening of the head after use is not required. • The kettle is very sensitive to shock and must not be bumped against another object. Also, do not forget to remove dirt using a polishing cloth from time to time. 2
