Authentic quality
Excellent build quality. The bronze alloy feels durable and the pitch is consistent across both cymbals in the pair.

Great sound, small size
I bought these for a world music project. They are smaller than standard splash cymbals but produce a very distinct, traditional water cymbal sound.

Surprisingly loud
Do not let the 15cm size fool you; these project very well. Perfect for outdoor festivals where you need to cut through the mix.

Unique texture
The tonal complexity is fascinating. It adds a wonderful layer of texture to our fusion jazz tracks when used sparingly.

Perfect for our folk ensemble
These cymbals have exactly the sharp cut we needed for our Suona performances. The resonance is incredible without being too overwhelming.

Good for beginners
Bought these for my student to practice Sanjuhan rhythms. They are responsive and easy to control for a learner.
Q: What is the difference between these and a regular splash cymbal?
A: These are tuned specifically for Chinese folk music scales and have a dryer, more focused attack compared to the washier sound of Western splash cymbals.
Q: Is the red cord durable enough for vigorous playing?
A: The cord is made of high-strength braided fiber designed for performance, but we recommend inspecting it regularly if used heavily.
Q: Are these cymbals sold as a single piece or a pair?
A: These are sold as a matched pair, connected by a traditional red cord ready for playing.
Q: Do you offer a larger size, like 20cm?
A: Currently, this listing is specifically for the 15cm Small Bo model. Please check our store for other sizes in the folk instrument category.
Q: Can these be used with standard drum sticks?
A: Yes, they can be played with sticks, but they are traditionally designed to be struck together by hand holding the cords.
