Turkish Craftmanship with German Precision
The Byzance Foundry Reserve series is crafted from B20 bronze, the highest quality alloy used in cymbal making. The cymbals are then hand hammered and lathed by Meinl's master cymbalsmiths, who have honed their skills over generations. Each cymbal undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency. What sets the Foundry Reserve series apart is Meinl's innovative sound profiling technology. Each cymbal is analyzed using a unique laser scanning process that captures the cymbal's acoustic properties. This data is then used to create a digital profile that is matched with the cymbal's physical characteristics. The result is a cymbal that is finely tuned to produce a specific sonic response, with unparalleled consistency from one cymbal to the next.
