This 17 in Artisan is a beautifully crafted suspended cymbal, perfect for orchestral percussionists or film composers seeking an authentic, vintage sound. It's got a really lovely, complex wash that sits beautifully in an ensemble, and the thinner profile makes it surprisingly responsive. It's an investment piece, but the tonal quality is truly exceptional.
