Meinl SY-20H 20 inch Heavy Symphonic Cymbals

Meinl SY-20H 20 inch Heavy Symphonic Cymbals are meticulously crafted to meet the highest sonic demands of orchestral music. Hand-hammered from premium B20 bronze in Meinl’s Turkish cymbal smithy, these cymbals deliver a powerful, bright, and penetrating sound with exceptional projection and sustain.

Materials and Build Quality

Each cymbal is forged from a B20 bronze alloy (80% copper and 20% tin), known for its rich tonal characteristics and durability. The hand-hammering process ensures a unique sonic profile and a traditional finish that appeals to both the eye and ear. The heavy weight of these cymbals contributes to their robust sound and long-lasting sustain, making them ideal for dynamic orchestral passages.

Performance and Use Case

Designed for orchestral applications, the SY-20H cymbals offer a bright, high-pitched tone with a strong, heavy attack. Their substantial weight provides enhanced projection, allowing them to cut through large ensembles. The cymbals’ long sustain and harmonic spread make them suitable for dramatic accents and climactic moments in symphonic compositions.
