Orchestral Cymbals Sabian 16" B8X Band

The Sabian 16" B8X Band is a pair of cymbals designed for orchestras, marching bands, and concert ensembles. The 16-inch diameter provides a wide and voluminous sound that easily fills a hall. The medium-heavy weight gives a crisp attack, controlled volume, and a distinct tone across any dynamic range. These cymbals produce a bright and rich tone that is well suited for rehearsals and performances, adding depth and power to the ensemble sound. Made from B8 bronze (copper with added tin), they are durable, stable, and pure in sound, making them comfortable and confident to play for musicians of all levels.

Thanks to precise forming, forging, and lathing, B8X cymbals have a bright, dense tone and stable dynamics that fit easily into a school or marching ensemble. They offer a bright and rich tone, significantly richer than brass counterparts, and are distinguished by increased durability and stable sound quality.
