The Meinl Byzance Traditional 16" Thin Crash Cymbal (B16TC) is a lightweight, hand-hammered crash crafted from B20 bronze alloy. This 16-inch thin crash produces a fairly washy and dark voice within a narrow frequency range, offering a soft attack and fairly short sustain that makes it ideal for nuanced playing and musical settings where control matters.
Hand-Hammered Character
As part of the prestigious Meinl Byzance Traditional series, every cymbal is completely hand hammered into shape, ensuring no two cymbals sound exactly alike. The Traditional finish with its fully lathed surface delivers a warm, smooth response with a rich harmonic spectrum. The B16TC sits beautifully in jazz, fusion, studio, and acoustic environments where a quick-decaying, musical crash is essential.
