In a limited production run, Meinl took their highly popular Byzance Polyphonic design – thin edges, a lathed body, and that signature raw bell – and gave it a buffed brilliant finish. This special finish tames the high-end frequencies, giving you a slightly warmer, smoother attack and spread. Featuring a raw hammered bell and lathed bow, this splash cymbal speaks with a clear punch and crisp shimmer. It produces cutting top-end presence for a great, all-around splash that can be used anywhere you need quick accents. Starting with hand-hammering and following with hand lathing in Turkey, the word ‘traditional’ accurately describes their hand forged shape and deeply rooted sound. The Traditional series features our broadest voice for Byzance, with a wide variety of sizes and weights that blend into any musical setting. Made in Turkey from B20 bronze, hand-hammered into shape, narrow blade lathing, and traditional finish.
