They still maintain good relationships with their former employees and continue to work on cymbal making with respect for the mentor who taught them the craft.\u003cbr\u003e The three cymbal masters, drawing on nearly 30 years of experience, continue to handcraft cymbals in their workshop, helping their apprentices create perfect cymbals.\u003cbr\u003e In today's society where machine manufacturing is commonplace, please enjoy these exquisite handcrafted items that still adhere to the delicate and high-quality traditional methods of skilled artisans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Groove Series cymbals aim for a funky, gritty sound.\u003cbr\u003e The top of the cymbal has a warm finish thanks to the traditional lathing process, but the bottom has a unique lathing process that is characteristic of the New Orleans series.\u003cbr\u003e This processing results in a warm attack with a dark tone characterized by suppressed resonance, and the sound has been developed to make the New Orleans sound more funky and powerful.\u003cbr\u003e It perfectly captures the image of a funky groove being created.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ride\u003cbr\u003e This model features a warm tone and clear ping sound, characterized by a rich, expansive resonance, yet its appeal lies in its bright and not-too-dark character.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Weight: 2050g (actual measurement at the store)","brand":"Bosphorus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67650874605681,"sku":"869684","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/869684_01.jpg?v=1791715398","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/zh-hans\/products\/869684","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
