Description
All cymbals are fully hand hammered and lathed and at no time receive
machine shaping as with major brands. Each cymbal is carefully crafted
over a period of time by cymbal smith Ray Byrne. Starting with raw,
unworked B20 bronze blanks, he works each cymbal over a number of
sessions allowing the cymbal to rest several days between hammering and
lathing until he feels it has reached the potential he is looking for in each
cymbal. Each cymbal is truly custom and unique.
Quarter Turk Series: Cymbals featuring a fully lathed underside and
partially lathed top that gives the cymbals just the right amount of tonal
dryness. The first few inches near the top’s edge are fully lathed while part
or all of the cymbal’s top is sparsely lathed giving a pinstripe appearance
that allows the cymbal to open up. Some of the Quarter Turk Series
cymbals also feature band lathing along with the pinstripe lathing giving
alternate areas of lathing patterns.
