Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The Avedis designation refers to a tradition of cymbals crafted for performance and consistency, with a sound aesthetic that prioritizes clarity and harmonic richness. This Symphonic French Tone pair follows a "classic" approach: a cymbal designed for the orchestra, where a gradual build-up, controlled body of sound, and beautiful sustain are expected, rather than a harsh "rock"-style impact.
Intended Users
This pair of symphonic cymbals is aimed at semi-professional and professional percussionists seeking a reliable response in demanding acoustic settings: symphony orchestra, wind ensemble, film music, opera, or contemporary music. The "Mid" profile facilitates integration into a cymbal section and offers a wide control range, whether playing softly to support a color or at full power for large tutti passages.
