Byzance Vintage
The Meinl ByzanceVintage series combines the characteristic sound of a well-worn cymbal with a modern playing experience. By tailoring the appearance and construction to mimic the natural aging process of a cymbal, a unique, vintage sound with plenty of character is created. The series has its origins in the well-known Sand Ride, which Meinl developed in collaboration with artist Benny Greb. The Vintage line has since grown into an extensive collection featuring various models that play a key role in the distinctive Meinl sound. All cymbals are manufactured in Turkey from B20 bronze and are hand-hammered. The Sand models feature a fine-grained finish and a sandblasted surface, while the Vintage Pure models are left completely unpolished and raw. As a result, each model has its own unique character and appearance.
