What is the significance of the B20 bronze and Traditional finish on this Byzance crash?

The B20 bronze alloy (80% copper, 20% tin) is a premium material known for its rich, complex tonal properties and excellent sustain, favored by professional cymbal makers. The Traditional finish involves hand-lathing and hand-hammering, which enhances the cymbal's natural warmth and allows for a full spectrum of overtones. This combination ensures a classic look and a versatile, musical sound.
