Meinl FICY-2 Oriental Finger Cymbals

General

Meinl's FICY-2 finger cymbals have a 2 3/8-inch diameter, and they're made of a special bronze alloy. They're relatively thick, giving them plenty of volume and excellent resonance. You get the best sound when you tap the edge of one cymbal to the other in a 90-degree angle. Although finger cymbals are often played by striking the bottoms of the cymbals together, that is not the way to go about playing these unique instruments. By subtly shaking the cymbals after you strike them together, you can create a subtle vibrato effect.

Meinl put a lot of care in matching these cymbals, ensuring both cymbals are identical in pitch. That's quite a rarity nowadays, due to modern production processes that produce many Tingshas at the same time. In short, Meinl once again delivered a great, unique product that lives up to the highest quality standards.
