About This Listing

Their hand hammered and lathed surfaces with warm sounds and selection of models may be rooted in tradition, but MEINL Byzance cymbals are the ultimate choice when it comes to modern versatility. Every Byzance model is hand hammered into shape by cymbal artisans in Turkey, giving each cymbal its own unique and colorful voice. The overall presence that MEINL Byzance delivers is dark, buttery warmth that flows around crisp definition. The Byzance brilliant 16-inch china has a warm and immediate washy sustain with plenty of trash and a well defined punch. Dark to medium range undertones give this china cymbal a slightly complex musical personality.
