MANUFACTURING

Made from B20 bronze sheets, each cymbal is individually crafted. Hammered, lathed, sometimes added a patina, but above all, carefully listened to at every stage of its production.

Over time, my work has focused mainly on two series:

1: the “THB” series (Turkish Hand Bell):

THB ride bells are hammer-formed and rather low, giving the cymbal a warmer sound than pressed bells. They are soft and elegant cymbals, but quite dark and not very powerful.

2: oKc series (old K clone):

Tonic and versatile cymbals, with a sound that approaches the legendary cymbals of the 50s/60s.

Surprisingly, the alloy used in cymbals, B20, is also the alloy used in Tibetan bowls, Indonesian gamelan, Chinese ritual gongs, and our enormous church bells. It is nicknamed musical bronze.
