This Meinl Byzance 18" Thin Crash is a hand-crafted, cast B20 bronze cymbal from Meinl’s top-tier Byzance range. Made in Turkey, it delivers that unmistakable boutique, artisanal sound that Byzance is known for.
Being a thin, traditionally-finished crash, it opens up instantly with a warm, buttery response and a smooth decay. It’s musical rather than aggressive, making it ideal for players who want expression, sensitivity, and a cymbal that blends rather than dominates.
Great for:
• Jazz, Indie, Worship, Pop, Funk, Acoustic settings
• Studio recording and dynamic players
• Anyone upgrading from mid-range cymbals into pro-level B20 for the first time
If you’re currently on Zildjian A’s, Sabian HHX/AA Thin Crashes, or Paiste Traditionals – this sits right in that expressive, musical family.
Condition:
This cymbal is in excellent condition with only light cosmetic surface marks from normal use. No cracks, keyholing, dents or structural issues and the logos are intact.
