CYMBALISTIC: Oh, what the heck…

UPDATE: Bumping this to the top of the blog. 

CYMBALISTIC: Oh, what the heck, business has been a little slow lately, so let’s goose this thing a little bit, and do a special on cymbals. 

I’ll give the FIRST THREE PEOPLE who want to buy a wonderful Cymbal & Gong cymbal in the month of February an extra special deal— we’re a tiny, tiny business, and normally the specials we can afford to offer are in the nature of free shipping, or 10-15% off, but we’ll do something better than that. Contact me for details. 

The cymbals have all been individually selected by me as ones I would want to own and use— there are no dogs. And as I’ve ranted about endlessly before, the cymbals themselves are consistently the best available for a traditional sound— a 50s/60s sound. The other jazz professionals who play them know this, and go nuts for them. 

Right now I have a number of Extra Special Janavars, with regular patina— making them big and lush— and heavy patina— making them more dry and funky. These have been a very hot item. I took several to Germany in October and they all sold before the real meet even started. 

I also have a few great A-type Holy Grails— Cymbal & Gong’s best selling cymbal. The 20s are a little stouter, and are great light-mediums. The 22 is thin with a heavy patina, for a big, rather rough Tony Williams type of sound.

And there are a few random items, on which I’ll be inclined to make you an extra special deal: 

18″ Turk “Rin” – Great cymbal, it’s just been in stock awhile. Lovely, rather delicate Turk for combo playing.

16″ Holy Grail “Bobby” – 16″ cymbals used to be a left side mainstay, and this is a very worthy, versatile cymbal for that. Give it a shot. I just got a 16 very similar to this, and love it. 

14″ China “Chi” –  Really cool effect cymbal. C&G’s Chinas are excellent, with the real Chinese sound, but not obnoxious, and not too loud.

OK, visit CYMBALISTIC to pick, out your cymbal(s), and then contact me through the form on that site.
