Sabian 16" Artisan Traditional Symphonic Hand Cymbal, Medium-Heavy, Natural Finish

Let the SABIAN 16" Artisan Medium Heavy hand cymbals elevate your musical performance with their quick response, rich and warm tone, and clear articulation. These cymbals are perfectly suited for rhythmic passages played at soft to moderate dynamics, making them a versatile addition to any percussion ensemble.

Their 16" size is particularly effective for marches and attached cymbal and bass drum performances, while their popularity among musicians playing orchestral excerpts at low volume levels speaks to their adaptability and superior sound quality.

These SABIAN Artisan hand cymbals were born from the need of leading percussionists to replace aging orchestral models. They not only meet this need but also set a new standard in the industry, becoming the benchmark by which all hand cymbals are measured.

Available in both Medium Light and Medium Heavy weights and sizes ranging from 16" to 20", these SABIAN Artisan cymbals are a testament to the perfect blend of traditional and modern craftsmanship. They feature high-density hand hammering, a time-honored technique, complemented by modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside. This unique design combination ensures optimal performance across any repertoire.

In comparison to the Artisan Medium Heavy pairings, the SABIAN Artisan Medium Light pairings offer a quicker response with a splashier quality and shorter sustain, providing musicians with a range of options to suit their specific performance needs. Experience the unmatched quality and sound of SABIAN's 16" Artisan Medium Heavy hand cymbals, a true embodiment of symphonic excellence.
