Questions about 19" Orchestral Cymbals

How do I choose between a heavy and medium-heavy 19” orchestral cymbal?

Heavy cymbals offer more sustain and a darker tone, while medium-heavy provides a quicker response and brighter sound. Consider the overall sonic texture of your ensemble.

What is the difference between a 'symphonic' and 'traditional' 19” orchestral cymbal?

Symphonic cymbals are typically thinner and brighter, designed for clarity. Traditional models are often slightly heavier, offering a more complex, nuanced sound.
