Setup Notes
Installation
This cymbal is designed for standard percussion hardware. To ensure longevity and optimal resonance:
- Mount the cymbal on a heavy-duty ride cymbal stand.
- Use a felt pad and plastic sleeve to protect the bronze from direct metal-on-metal contact.
- Avoid over-tightening the wing nut; allow the cymbal to vibrate freely to achieve the full “glassy” character.
