From Byrne:
Fully lathed Vintage Series Hi-hats. Hand hammered and hand lathed retaining occasional pockets of unlathed spots in areas of deep hammering.
Byrne Cymbals are hand hammered and hand lathed cymbals made in the USA from imported, raw cymbal blanks. Each piece of unworked bronze is carefully shaped and lathed in a one-man shop just outside the Chicago area. The cymbals are rustic in character and have the sonic complexity of a truly hand hammered cymbal.
