Meinl 18 Marching Cymbal Pair with Straps - Brass Alloy Traditional Finish - Made In Germany, (MA-BR-18M)

EASY TO PLAY: Student Range Brass Marching Cymbals deliver a powerful sound and robust feel designed for beginner and intermediate players; they are somewhat smaller and lighter than professional bronze marching cymbals.
WHY IT MATTERS: musicians of any age or ability can quickly adapt to their handling and appreciate their brilliant crash tone.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX: a pair of 18" tonally matched brass marching cymbals and two leather straps; these durable straps allow for a secure traditional marching grip.
DRIVING THE SOUND: crafted in Germany from MS63 brass alloy for a clear, bright, and crisp tone; substantial thickness combined with well-defined surface grooves and hammer marks produces a focused sound without harsh or piercing overtones.
WHERE TO USE: suitable for general use such as elementary school band, high school concert and marching band, community band, and street parades.
CATCH UP QUICK: brings decades of cymbal-making expertise since 1951; these marching cymbals and other product lines are manufactured in our German facility, while our top-tier professional Byzance cymbals are hand-hammered in Turkey from cast B20 bronze.
ZOOM IN: the surface gleams and shimmers under light, an added benefit for those who value visual appeal; it also features the same logo detailing as our professional lines, including a small laser-engraved logo and serial number.
THE BOTTOM LINE: these are German-made, high-quality entry-level cymbals that mirror more advanced models with their crisp, bright tone and musical response; they are built to last, even for aggressive players, and are appropriate for many musical settings including marching band, community band, and street parades
