The Istanbul BB-FWSCH13 FourStax Shiny China Cymbal 15" is crafted from hand hammered B20 bronze with a medium gauge and shiny finish. The Black Bell range of cymbals produce bright and sonic tones with an unlathed bell that retains a metallic darkness. On the other hand the lathed and hand hammered playing surface delivers brassy, cutting sounds and bright sonic colours. The shiny version of these cymbals are more resonant and richer in overtones than the traditional models.
The extremely broad spectrum of the Istanbul Mehmet BlackBell cymbals predestines them for the work in the recording studio, but also on stage, during the live performance, they cut a good figure. Stylistically they can be used in every conceivable direction, from metal to pop or hip-hop. Gently struck, the tone is light and warm, with firm play the sound dark and deep. The Shiny version is even more brilliant and richer in overtones than the traditional version, which is earthier and warmer.
