The choice of \u003cstrong\u003eartisan hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e aims for one thing: to achieve a living, organic cymbal with harmonic complexity that never sounds \"flat.\" Within the range, the \u003cstrong\u003etraditional finish\u003c\/strong\u003e stands out for its balance between warmth and definition, favoring a musical and versatile character rather than an aggressive brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cymbal is primarily intended for \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to expert drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking an instrument with character, capable of faithfully translating playing intentions. It excels in contexts where \u003cstrong\u003etimbre richness\u003c\/strong\u003e and subtlety are important: modern jazz, funk, soul, refined pop, indie, vintage rock, acoustic music, and any situation where a present sound without harshness is desired. Drummers oriented towards metal or very heavy rock will see it as a more \"colored\" and expressive option, ideal for adding depth and contrast to a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe signature of this cymbal is based on a simple and effective principle: \u003cstrong\u003ethe artisan's hand\u003c\/strong\u003e shapes the response and sonic complexity. The manual hammering creates an irregular surface that directly influences how the cymbal vibrates, enriching the spectrum and providing a more \"breathable\" playing feel. The \u003cstrong\u003etraditional finish\u003c\/strong\u003e reinforces this positioning by favoring a natural touch and a soft response while maintaining a generous midrange harmonic content. The result: a cymbal that integrates easily into the mix while retaining a strong identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its \u003cstrong\u003etraditional finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Byzance offers a \u003cstrong\u003ewarm, soft, and broad\u003c\/strong\u003e sound, characterized by a comfortable presence in the midrange. The attack remains supple, helping to avoid harsh peaks, especially in recording or amplified setups where high frequencies can quickly dominate. The overall sound is musical and rounded, with an enveloping \"wash\" that fills the space without overpowering the rest of the kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ehand hammering\u003c\/strong\u003e adds extra complexity: harmonics unfold more organically, and the cymbal responds finely to velocity variations. Played softly, it retains body and a beautiful texture; played louder, it gains projection while maintaining a velvety character. Since each piece is manually worked, slight variations in response and color may exist from one cymbal to another, which is part of the charm of this series: you are playing an instrument with true individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eByzance\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTouch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esoft\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcess\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003efully hand-hammered\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvelope\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebroad\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach cymbal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eunique sonic characteristics\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarmonics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003erich in midrange\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etraditional\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePositioning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003emeets the most demanding requirements\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ewarm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrientation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etradition and individuality\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Meinl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361289523475,"sku":"31114","price":449.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/0abd28eaf91caca4ea4c17148e54ba7fc50d515a_B13MH.jpg?v=1788783181","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/meinl-byzance-13-medium-b13mh-31114","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
