Turkish Cymbals 16" China & Effects

16-inch china cymbals deliver the classic china effect in a compact format: a trashy, cutting tone with fast response and a short, explosive decay. They place aggressive accents that slice through any mix. Every china at Cymballand is hand-hammered in Istanbul from pure B20 bronze (80% copper, 20% tin).

What a 16-inch china is made for

The compact diameter makes the 16" china fast and aggressive – ideal for sharp accents in metal, rock and progressive, and for staccato stops. Mounted upside down it speaks even more directly, delivering that typical trashy bite.
