description
B20 alloy is a premium bronze alloy made of approximately 80% copper and 20% tin, used in the production of the highest quality and richest sounding cymbals. Due to its composition, it is known for its high hardness and at the same time exceptional acoustic properties. Cymbals made of B20 alloy offer a warm, complex and musically layered tone with rich harmonic details. They respond sensitively to playing dynamics and allow a wide range of expressive possibilities. Each piece is typically hand-forged and tuned, which guarantees a unique sonic character. B20 is the choice of professionals looking for an organic, natural-sounding cymbal with authentic character and long life.
Each cymbal is meticulously hand-hammered, ensuring a unique sound character and enhanced dynamics. Hand-hammering gives the cymbal the deeper, more resonant tones that are characteristic of the LUNA series.
– a dry tone with a modern aesthetic
Sandblasted finish is created by gently sandblasting the cymbal, creating a matte, porous texture. This process not only changes the appearance, but also the acoustic properties of the cymbal.
Visual features
• A slightly rough, matte surface with a characteristic structure.
• Visually, it has a modern and “vintage” feel at the same time.
• Each cymbal has a unique appearance due to the uneven texture.
Sound features
• A darker, drier tone with a shorter reverberation.
• Less treble, more midrange.
• Excellent control and minimal excess “wash” effect.
• No polishing required – just a gentle cleaning with a dry cloth.
• The sandblasted surface is prone to discoloration, which is natural.
