Sabian - A1823 Artisan Suspended 18"

The Sabian A1823 orchestral cymbal is one of the brand's most refined models, with a dark character and rich sound reminiscent of old cymbals. Its entirely hand hammering creates complex vibrations that remain controlled from start to finish.

Thanks to its thin thickness, it reacts quickly, even at low volume, allowing you to achieve very precise nuances. The sound rises gradually and warmly, making crescendos easier in orchestral settings. The B20 alloy adds depth and a dark timbre that remains stable at all volume levels.

You can use it in soft passages as well as in more intense moments, because it always retains its beautiful musicality. Its 18" size gives it a natural balance between flexibility and projection. The natural finish emphasises its craftsmanship without changing the way it vibrates. Its rich but never aggressive character makes it easy to integrate into different ensembles.

It's an excellent cymbal if you're looking for an instrument capable of adding warmth and dramatic tension with real personality.
