Exceeded expectations
As a percussion instructor, I recommend these to students looking for authentic sounds without breaking the bank. The tonal quality is consistent across the set.

Authentic craftsmanship
You can tell these are hand-forged. The hammer marks aren't just cosmetic; they really affect the complex overtones. Excellent value for the price.

Loud and clear
Bought these for a community band. They project incredibly well outdoors. The 'Guang Bo' style really shines in open-air festivals.

Great sound, heavy weight
The tone is beautiful and very traditional. Just be aware they are a bit heavier than modern orchestral cymbals, which takes some getting used to during long rehearsals.

Good sustain
Very pleased with the sustain length. It blends well with gongs. Only minor issue was the packaging could have been slightly more robust, but the item arrived safe.

Perfect for our folk dance troupe
These cymbals have an incredible cut through the mix. We use them for waist drum performances, and the resonance is exactly what we needed without being too harsh.
Q: Is the metal alloy lead-free?
A: Yes, all our Ge Yun Jing cymbals are manufactured using a safe bronze alloy that is free from lead and other hazardous materials, complying with international safety standards for musical instruments.
Q: Are these cymbals suitable for indoor studio recording?
A: Yes, while they are designed to project, their balanced frequency response makes them suitable for studio work when mic'd correctly. We recommend using dampening techniques if the room is very small.
Q: What is the exact diameter of the standard waist drum size?
A: The standard waist drum cymbal in this series typically measures 14 inches (35cm), but please check the specific size selector at checkout as we offer variants from 12 to 18 inches.
Q: Do these come with a carrying case?
A: No, these cymbals are sold individually or in sets without a hard case. However, they do include felt washers. We sell compatible padded cymbal bags separately in our accessories section.
Q: How do I clean the bronze without damaging the finish?
A: We recommend using a soft, dry cloth for regular dusting. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized bronze cymbal cleaner sparingly, avoiding the hammered grooves to preserve the traditional patina.
