TRONA

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 TRONA series.

– raw character, authentic sound
Natural finish preserves the cymbal in its natural form without polishing or significant turning. The surface remains matte, slightly rough and visually appears raw, which highlights the artisanal origin of the material.
