Frequently Asked Questions
The Symmetry series prioritizes a more focused, musical sound than the Medallist or Traditional Classics, offering a more refined wash and complex harmonics.
No, it's a lightly lacquered finish designed to preserve the cymbal’s natural tone and responsiveness, rather than a heavily polished look.
While it's articulate, its inherent brightness might not suit a preference for a dark, trashy sound; consider a darker Meinl series instead.
