I’m very pleased to own a set of three Schnellar timpani by Wolfgang Schuster. There is lots of information about the history of Hans Schnellar and his timpani on Schuster’s website wienerpauke.at.
Other makers of Schnellar timpani include;

With many thanks to the photographers and film makers who have allowed me to use their work; Stephen Tasker, Chris Christodolou (RCM), Tommy Pearson, Monika Rittershaus (Berliner Philharmoniker), Will Schofield, Glyn Matthews, Angus Bremner (SCO) and Zen Grisdale.
