16" Meinl Byzance Brilliant China - Brilliant

Product Description

The Meinl Byzance Brilliant China 16" is a hand-hammered B20 cymbal with a warm, full sound and excellent dynamic response. The polished Brilliant finish gives it a bright, shining look that also shapes the sound, letting you control tone and volume through your playing.

• Hand-hammered B20 bronze, 80% copper and 20% tin
• Brilliant finish with hand-lathed top and bottom
• Warm sound character with medium sustain and volume
• Broad tonal range suited to many genres

The B16CH-B is a great all-around China with a dark sound that works equally well for metal as for jazz, fusion, rock and pop. Its medium sustain and volume make it easy to control in the mix, whether you play soft or hard.

Craftsmanship

The Byzance series is made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional hand-crafting methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, then heated, rolled and cooled according to a carefully tested schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is shaped before hand-hammering begins, and lathed series like this one are then hand-lathed before being sent onward. The raw cymbals are quality-checked, sorted and finished at Meinl's German factory, including laser logo, brilliant finish and sandblasting. The combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is behind Byzance's warm sound and consistent standard.

Byzance is available in six variants. Traditional, Vintage, Jazz, Extra Dry, Dark and Brilliant. Each with its own sound and look.
