ISOLUTION

Paiste Alpha Concert/Marching Hand Cymbals are full-bodied and have a sparkling attack with a silvery shimmering response, rounded off by a wide and rich bouquet. They have a well-balanced spectrum from high to low, with a strong, meaty mid-range and a medium long sustain. Smaller sizes work well in outdoor marching situations, while larger sizes are recommended for indoor concert applications.
Alpha “Concert/Marching” models were designed for universal application, ranging from indoor Ensemble and Concert to outdoor Marching and Drum Corps. Made entirely by hand in Switzerland, they deliver warmth, brilliance and richness in sound, and professional quality for a comparatively modest investment.
