Construction and manufacturing

Byzance cymbals are cast from B20 alloy, which is heated, rolled and cooled according to a carefully tested schedule until the correct thickness is reached. The cymbal's bell is then shaped before hand-hammering gives the cymbal its final form. Series with a lathed surface, like this one, are hand-lathed before being sent to Germany for quality control, sorting and finishing. Including laser-etched logos and the brilliant finish that gives the cymbal its polished surface. Byzance is available in six variants: Traditional, Vintage, Jazz, Extra Dry, Dark and Brilliant, each with its own sound character and look.
