Good value for bronze
Solid cymbals for the price. They are lighter than Western splash cymbals, which makes them very easy to control. Shipping was secure.

Authentic Traditional Sound
These cymbals have that distinct Beijing opera sound I was looking for. The 17-inch size cuts through the mix perfectly without being too harsh. Great craftsmanship.

Exceeded expectations
I was hesitant about ordering musical instruments online, but these are fantastic. The hand-hammered marks give it character and the sound is pure.

Beautiful resonance
Very responsive and bright. The bronze quality is evident. I use them for fusion jazz and they add a unique texture. Took one star off because the finish varies slightly from the photo.

Perfect for my ensemble
Bought the 15 and 19 inch pair. They blend well together. The decay is quick which is exactly what you want for a splash cymbal in fast-paced traditional pieces.

Lovely water cymbal effect
The 'Shui Cha' effect is real. It sounds like splashing water when played softly and crashes nicely when hit hard. Highly recommend for percussionists exploring Asian styles.
Q: Can I return this if the pitch isn't what I expected?
A: Yes, we accept returns within 30 days provided the item is unused and in its original packaging. Please note that natural variations in tone are characteristic of handmade bronze cymbals.
Q: Does this come with a protective bag or case?
A: The cymbals are shipped in sturdy cardboard packaging with foam protection, but a dedicated carrying bag is not included. We recommend purchasing a separate cymbal sleeve for transport.
Q: Do you sell matching stands for these cymbals?
A: We do not currently sell stands directly, but these cymbals feature a standard center hole compatible with any universal cymbal stand available at music stores.
Q: Are these suitable for heavy rock music?
A: These are designed primarily for traditional Chinese music and light accents. While they can be used in rock for specific textural effects, they may not project as loudly or sustain as long as heavy rock crash cymbals.
Q: What is the exact weight of the 17-inch model?
A: Due to the hand-hammered manufacturing process, weights can vary slightly. The 17-inch model typically weighs between 600g and 700g.
