Meinl Suspended Symphonic Medium 17" Cymbal

Available from Gear4Music at £409.00 ($519).

The Meinl Suspended Symphonic Medium 17" Cymbal is suited to orchestral players shaping expressive dynamics and controlled swells. Its medium thin weight and flat profile respond quickly to soft touches making it easy to start notes cleanly and build sound gradually. This sensitivity is especially useful for mallet rolls where even pressure helps create smooth swelling crescendos without sudden jumps in volume.Hand-hammered from B20 bronze this cymbal produces a warm smooth character with a musical spread that sits comfortably in an ensemble. The sustain is medium giving notes time to bloom while staying manageable in quieter passages. With a mid-bright timbre and high-mid pitch it adds clarity without becoming sharp. Finished traditionally and lathed with a narrow blade its a reliable choice for orchestral settings where control blend and consistent response really matter.
