Sound Character

The hand-hammered B20 bronze gives this cymbal a warm, full tone with plenty of dynamic range, letting you shape volume and character through your touch. The attack is round and the sustain controlled, making the B17MTC equally at home in soft passages and full-force playing.

Craftsmanship

The Byzance series is made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional handcraft methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully proven schedule until the right thickness is reached. The bell is shaped before hand-hammering forms the cymbal's final shape, and models with a lathed surface. Like this one. Are then hand-lathed. The raw cymbals are shipped to Meinl's German facility for quality control, sorting and finishing, such as laser-engraved logos. This closed loop between Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is key to Byzance's warm sound and consistently high standard.

Who It's For

A great all-round crash for players who want a warm, controlled tone that fits many genres. From rock and pop to fusion and latin.
