Meinl Byzance Polyphonic Cymbals UK — Into Music Store

The Meinl Byzance Traditional Polyphonic series takes the warmth and complexity of the Byzance Traditional platform and pushes it further — producing cymbals with a rich, multi-layered harmonic character that rewards careful listening and musical playing. The name "polyphonic" refers to the multiple tonal layers present in each cymbal's sound: rather than a single focused fundamental, Polyphonic cymbals produce a complex wash of harmonics that evolve and interact as the cymbal sustains.

This makes the Polyphonic series particularly well suited to jazz, fusion, and studio contexts where harmonic complexity and musical sensitivity are valued over raw projection and cut. The range covers the 15" Polyphonic Hi-Hat, crashes in 18", 19", and 20", rides in 21" and 22", a splash, and the Complete Polyphonic Cymbal Set for drummers who want a fully matched setup in one purchase.

For drummers searching for Meinl Byzance Polyphonic cymbals UK, a cymbal store UK, or a drum shop near me with a genuine selection of Meinl cymbals on display, Into Music Store is an authorised Meinl dealer and home to the Meinl Cymbal Lounge in Horncastle, Lincolnshire.
