Sound Character

Craftsmanship

Byzance cymbals are made at Meinl's Turkish factory using traditional handcraft methods. Each cymbal is cast from B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin), then heated, rolled and cooled following a carefully tested schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The bell is then shaped before hand-hammering gives the cymbal its final form, followed by hand-lathing of the surface. The raw cymbals are then sent to Meinl's German factory for quality control, sorting and finishing. This combination of Turkish craftsmanship and German quality control is the key to Byzance's warm sound and consistently high standard.

Who It's For

A great choice if you play rock, pop, fusion or latin and want a big crash with a full sound and excellent dynamic control.
