Description

The Turk Series is defined by its unlathed surfaces, allowing the natural qualities of the bronze to shine through with minimal interference. This results in a darker, drier and more organic voice that feels alive and expressive. The 7″ Turk Bell retains this philosophy, offering a pure, unprocessed tonal character that responds instantly and cuts through a mix without overwhelming it.

Sound & Feel:

• Dry and highly focused tonal character
• Sharp, articulate attack with quick decay
• Clear and precise pitch definition
• Minimal wash for tight rhythmic control
• Earthy, raw texture with organic presence

Built to Perform:

• Crafted from premium B20 bronze for warmth and complexity
• Fully hand-hammered using traditional Turkish techniques
• Unlathed surface preserves natural tonal character
• Designed for expressive, dynamic playing
• A true reflection of raw, handcrafted cymbal artistry

Ideal For:

• Drummers seeking dry, cutting bell tones
• Players who favour raw and organic cymbal sounds
• Jazz, fusion, experimental and world music styles
• Studio musicians needing precise accent colours
• Anyone looking for a highly characterful effect bell
