From Byrne:
Vintage Series, ride cymbal. Features a fully lathed top and bottom with occasional areas of the raw cymbal surface between lathe grooves and in deep pockets of 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.
