Sabian 16" HHX Bob Becker Bow Orchestral Cymbal
The Sabian 16" HHX Becker Bow is a highly specialized, discontinued instrument engineered specifically for bowed performance. Developed in collaboration with legendary Nexus percussionist Bob Becker, this cymbal ditches traditional round geometry for a unique 8-sided design featuring alternating straight and curved edges. This patented shape—combined with a raw, tactile Natural finish—provides the exact friction a cello or bass bow needs to instantly activate deep, haunting, and beautifully sustained overtones without the unpredictable "sliding" common on standard cymbals.
