This series is crafted with professional quality, entirely handmade with manual hammering. These cymbals are perfect for all music styles. Today, they are still manufactured exactly like the original 1971 model.

Cymbals that are durable, with plenty of volume and projection, and due to their manufacturing process, have exactly the same sound as the first original 1971 cymbals.

The alloy
Built with the legendary 2002 Bronze (CuSn8 - 92% copper, 8% tin). In the late 1950s, amplified music demanded a new alloy because the emerging styles produced much more volume. In 1963, Paiste proved that 8% tin bronze was ideal for these requirements and has used this alloy for decades in many of their high-end cymbals.
