Zildjian - Crotale High Octave 13 Notes 440 Hz

Product presentation

The Zildjian High Octave Crotales opens the door to a very special world of sound, appreciated by orchestras, contemporary ensembles and film soundtracks. From the very first strike, these crotales reveal a luminous timbre that naturally attracts the ear and adds an almost crystalline dimension to the performance.

Made up of 13 notes covering the range from middle C to high C, this set can be used to introduce melodic lines, punctual accents or sound effects that stand out clearly within an orchestra. Their direct projection makes them easy to integrate into large ensembles where each note must remain intelligible despite the richness of the instrumentation.

Made from the bronze alloy used by Zildjian, these crotales develop a brilliant, defined sound. Each note remains perfectly legible, while the extended sustain allows the sound to evolve naturally in space. This ability to prolong resonance adds depth to orchestral passages and enriches the most delicate ambiances.

Also known as 'ancient cymbals', crotales are used in a wide variety of contexts, from classical works to contemporary creations. The Zildjian High Octave Crotales is therefore a particularly interesting choice for percussionists who want to broaden their sound palette with a melodic instrument that is precise, expressive and easy to distinguish in an ensemble.
