ARTICLE N° 122233
The Zildjian K Constantinople 20" Medium Light is a pair of orchestral cymbals designed for percussionists looking for a warmer, more responsive sound in a symphonic context. Lighter than some versions in the series, they open up quickly under the hands, giving a more fluid, lively feel to dynamic passages and fast rhythms.

This rapid response becomes particularly interesting in works where nuances are constantly changing. The crashes start off easily, with a nice fullness, while retaining the deep, dark character typical of the K Constantinople. The low harmonics remain very present, helping the cymbal to blend naturally into the orchestra without taking up all the space in the sound spectrum.

The 20-inch diameter also provides a wide soundstage. Attacks remain rich and musical, with a long, controlled sustain, very useful in suspended passages or orchestral crescendos. Despite this breadth, the cymbal retains enough precision to follow faster rhythms or shorter accents.

With their traditional finish and fine hammering, these cymbals develop a complex, organic sound texture that is much appreciated in classical, contemporary and cinematic ensembles. he Zildjian PZA P0750 leather straps are included, so you can get to grips with them straight out of the case.
