The alloy
This B20 alloy is composed of 80% copper and 20% tin and is the "star" alloy in the construction of professional cymbals. The B20 alloy can be difficult to work with, as it requires extensive reworking and annealing due to its naturally fragile state, but in Turkey, it has been used for centuries.
Like all cast bronze cymbals, they are poured and shaped individually from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Then, the cast pieces undergo a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and turning techniques unique to each cymbal model. These cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves over time. They also offer greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbal.
