Meinl SY-22T 22 inch Thin Symphonic Cymbals

Meinl SY-22T 22 inch Thin Symphonic Cymbals are expertly crafted to meet the nuanced demands of orchestral performances. Hand-hammered from premium B20 bronze in Meinl’s Turkish cymbal smithy, these cymbals offer a light weight pairing with a quick decay and low volume. Their soft, washy attack and very musical spread with dark tonality make them ideal for low volume settings.

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 traditional finish enhances their classic aesthetic, suitable for formal concert settings. The hand-hammered construction ensures a unique tonal character and superior craftsmanship.

Performance and Use Case

Designed for orchestral applications, the SY-22T cymbals offer a bright, high-pitched sound with a strong, thin attack. Their lightweight provides enhanced projection, allowing them to cut through large ensembles. The cymbals’ quick decay and harmonic spread make them suitable for dynamic accents and climactic moments in symphonic compositions.
