Meinl HCS 16" China Cymbal – excellent
The Meinl HCS series is built from MS63 brass alloy and made in Germany — a consistent, durable entry-level cymbal line with a bright, cutting character at an accessible price point. The 16" China delivers the fast, trashy attack and quick decay that china cymbals are built for — useful as an accent cymbal for fills, transitions, and punctuation across rock, metal, and general-purpose playing. The turned-up bell and upturned edges produce the characteristic china bite with a short, controlled sustain that clears quickly without a lingering wash.
This one is in excellent condition — clean, no damage, ready to mount and play.
