Sound Character

Byzance Traditional is known for its warm, full tone and wide dynamic range. The B22CH is a dark, all-round china that responds clearly to both light and heavy playing, making it easy to shape depending on how you play.

Craftsmanship

Byzance cymbals are made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional handcraft methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze, then heated, rolled and cooled according to a carefully proven schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is shaped before hand-hammering gives the cymbal its form, and series with a lathed surface are hand-lathed before being sent to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing such as laser-engraved logos. This combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is behind Byzance's warm sound and consistent standard.

Who It's For

The B22CH suits players who want a versatile china with a dark, warm character, whether you play metal, rock, jazz or fusion.
