VOLCANO Series / SYNERGY Cymbals

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.

HAND - HAMMERED

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 VOLCANO series.

TRADITIONAL FINISH

– a classic that never loses its character
Traditional finish is the most widespread and iconic finish for cymbals made from B20 alloy. It is a finely turned surface with distinct circular grooves that are the result of precision machining.

VISUAL AND SOUND

Visual features
• Matte to slightly shiny bronze appearance with a visible turned texture.
• The surface bears traces of handwork, which gives the cymbal a handcrafted and authentic character.
• Over time, it acquires a natural patina that can affect not only the appearance, but also the sound (in a positive way).

Sound features
• Warm, balanced and organic tone with natural sustain.
• Prominent dynamics and a rich harmonic spectrum – the cymbal “breathes” with the player.
• Suitable for playing with dynamics – it responds sensitively to both soft and stronger strikes.

MAINTENANCE

• A soft dry cloth is enough to wipe off sweat and dust.
• When cleaning, use mild cymbal cleaners, avoid aggressive products.
• A natural patina is not harmful - it gives the cymbal a more mature sound character.
