Pre-Owned Meinl 15" Byzance Thin Crash

The Meinl 15" Byzance Thin Crash is a small-format powerhouse—light, responsive, and bursting with musical personality. Hand-hammered in Turkey from B20 bronze, this crash speaks fast and fades smoothly, making it ideal for players who crave quick, expressive accents without overwhelming their mix.
Its thin weight and smaller size give it a quick decay and glassy shimmer that’s perfect for lower-volume playing, jazz, acoustic sessions, or nuanced pop and indie grooves. But don’t let the word “thin” fool you—this crash can open up with a beautifully complex spread when pushed, revealing rich overtones and a slightly smoky wash that blends effortlessly into any setup.
The cymbal’s raw hand-hammered profile and traditional finish offer both visual charm and sonic sophistication. It pairs beautifully with darker rides and dry hats, adding that splash of sparkle when the groove calls for it.
This pre-owned model has been fully inspected by the team at Musicmaker and is in excellent shape—well-loved, nicely opened-up, and ready to sing. It’s a true working player’s crash with a voice that slots in naturally wherever you put it.
