Meinl Cymbals Byzance
The cymbals of the Byzance series tonally form the lower end of the Meinl cymbal range. They all share a dark, low fundamental tone, with variations depending on finish or treatment. The cymbals' tonal character is best appreciated at more moderate volumes, where all sonic nuances can fully unfold.
Byzance cymbals are available with Brilliant and Traditional finishes, and also as untreated cymbals with a dark surface under the name Byzance Dark.
The Byzance Extra Dry models are hammered even more rawly and intensively in their finish, resulting in an appearance that to the untrained eye resembles metal that has lain on the seabed for years. The Byzance Dual cymbals combine the inner part of the Extra Dry models with a brilliant outer portion to sonically unite the best of both processing variants.
To simulate an ageing process, the Byzance Vintage cymbals have been treated with a sandblaster, resulting in an interesting matte finish and an exciting tonal character.
The Byzance Jazz cymbals, with their deep hammering, offer a pleasantly soft yet dry and dark sound.
A special feature are the Byzance Foundry Reserve models: a small selection of the highest-quality cymbals hand-hammered by masters in Turkey, becoming unique both visually and sonically.
