SABIAN 17" Artisan Suspended

SABIAN 17" Artisan Suspended Cymbal

The 17" Artisan Suspended delivers quick response with a characteristically dark tone, making it an excellent choice for ensemble work where controlled dynamics and rich sustain are priorities. Hand-hammered from pure B20 bronze, this cymbal is highly regarded by professional and collegiate ensembles as well as discriminating high schools. Its versatile size works equally well as a suspended cymbal or crash cymbal, providing real economy in a serious instrument.

Tone & Acoustic Character

High-density hand hammering produces SABIAN's legendary sound while the unique design enhances projection across a wide range of low, mid, and high partials. The dark, rich tone with extended sustain makes this cymbal ideal for band and orchestral compositions that call for controlled volume and sophisticated harmonic depth rather than aggressive cutting power.

Build & Construction

Each cymbal is individually hand-hammered using high-density hammering techniques refined over centuries of craftsmanship. The thin weight classification combined with B20 bronze material and natural metal finish ensures responsive attack and sustained musicality in professional performance environments.
