Impressive Projection
Even in a large hall without microphones, these cymbals cut through the entire orchestra. The hand-hammered texture adds a unique character to the sound.

Great Quality, Heavy Weight
Beautiful craftsmanship and a loud crash. They are heavier than modern jazz cymbals, which is expected for this style, but take some getting used to.

Perfect for Opera
Used these for a Peking Opera production. The sustain is long and the pitch is very clear. Highly recommended for professional use.

Good Value for Money
Solid construction and authentic Beijing style. One cymbal had a slight irregularity in the edge, but it did not affect the sound quality.

Authentic Sound for Our Troupe
These cymbals produce the exact bright and piercing sound we need for our traditional lion dance performances. The bronze quality is exceptional.

Excellent Traditional Instrument
As a percussionist studying world instruments, these are fantastic. They offer a distinct timbre that cannot be replicated by standard drum kit cymbals.
Q: Are these suitable for a modern rock drum kit?
A: While they can be used creatively, they are specifically voiced for traditional Chinese music and may be too bright or heavy for standard rock settings.
Q: Is the sound pitch consistent between pairs?
A: Since these are hand-forged, there may be slight variations in pitch, which is characteristic of authentic traditional instruments.
Q: What is the diameter of the 'Large' size option?
A: The Large size typically measures between 14 to 16 inches in diameter, depending on the specific batch and artisan.
Q: How should I clean these bronze cymbals?
A: We recommend using a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Avoid chemical polishes as they can damage the traditional patina and affect the sound.
Q: Do these cymbals come with carrying straps?
A: Yes, each pair includes traditional cloth straps for holding and playing the cymbals comfortably.
