Construction & Build Quality
Forged from SABIAN’s proprietary B8 bronze alloy (92% copper, 8% tin), this cymbal features a machine-hammered bell and pinpoint lathing for controlled tonal response. The natural finish reflects the workmanship while contributing to the cymbal’s bright, lively character.
