The main feature of Farqin is a hybrid construction divided into three surfaces, each crafted using a different hammering or turning technique.
- Raw and hammered bell. Unturned and with a very visible hammering. Provides a drier, direct response with plenty of character.
- Over-hammered central zone. This is the most controlled part of the cymbal and helps contain the wash, offering good stick definition.
- Finely turned edge. Allows the cymbal to open up more easily, generating a cleaner, more flexible response rich in harmonics.
The goal is for you to achieve clearly different sounds depending on where you strike the cymbal.
