Meinl PFICY-2 Professional Finger Cymbals

General

These Tingshas are made of a special bronze alloy, and joined together by a durable, wearproof cord. Meinl took great care to match each pair of these finger cymbals. As per usual in high-quality Tingshas, each pair has a virtually identical sound, which causes a slight vibrato in the upper frequencies - an effect you can amplify by moving the cymbals in a circular fashion. The cymbals themselves have a 2 5/8" diameter, and they're relatively heavy and thick, allowing for excellent resonance and sustain. You get the best sound when you tap the edge of one cymbal to the other in a 90-degree angle, instead of crashing them together like marching band cymbals. Once again, Meinl delivers a beautiful and high-quality product. It's a great gift for creative percussionists.
