Orchestra

Explore the richness of the Zildjian K Constantinople Vintage 20" ML cymbal sold as a pair, designed for nuanced and expressive orchestral playing. This orchestral cymbal develops a dark, round and warm sound, with a soft attack and complex, highly musical harmonics. Ideal for symphonic works, large crescendos and more subtle passages, it retains excellent presence without being aggressive.

ARTICLE N° 122252
The Zildjian K Constantinople Vintage 20" Medium Light is for percussionists looking for an orchestral cymbal that fills the space with depth while maintaining a controlled attack. Unlike sharper or more explosive models, this pair develops a smoother, fuller response, particularly pleasing in large symphonic works or atmospheric passages.

With their 20-inch diameter, these cymbals produce a broad, enveloping sound. Crashes naturally take on a fuller, richer harmonic character, but without any harshness in the attack. This rounder feel is a great help in situations where the cymbal needs to support the orchestra without dominating the rest of the ensemble. The low harmonics remain very present, providing a dark, dense colour that is typical of the K Constantinople.

Even though this version is rated Medium Light, it retains a slightly more 'platey' character than other K Orchestral models. The sound remains dry and articulate enough to maintain precision in short or syncopated rhythms, while developing more body thanks to the 20" format. This balance between articulation and fullness makes it particularly versatile in an orchestral environment.

Handcrafted with a traditional finish and fine hammering, these cymbals develop a complex, organic sound texture. Zildjian PZA P0750 leather straps are included with the pair.
