The Sounds collection is a very interesting family of unique percussion instruments. Our concept for this collection is deliberately broad, allowing us to add innovative sounds without limitations. In creating these instruments, Paiste has utilized a wide variety of alloys in order to achieve the best possible sound realization.
Crotales are offered individually or in 1, 2 or 2½ octave sets tuned chromatically to 442Hz (other tunings are available by custom order). Paiste's tuning system insures these instruments with perfect pitch. We offer 1, 2 or 2½ octave octave stands for these instruments. To facilitate playing chromatically tuned sets, we have developed a damper system for all our crotales set stands. Crotales (C6-F8) are traditional Cymbal Antiques utilized by composers since the 19th century. Made from CuSn20 bronze, they produce a clear, pure, even traditional sound.
