Starting with hand hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word “traditional” accurately describes their hand-forged shape and deeply rooted sound. The Traditional series contains our broadest voice for Byzance, with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting. These cymbals are made in Turkey from cast B20 bronze and are hand hammered into shape by skilled Turkish cymbal smiths.
