SABIAN 18" HHX New Sym Viennese Single

SABIAN 18" HHX New Symphonic Viennese Hand Cymbals

These 18" HHX New Symphonic Viennese hand cymbals deliver a warm, articulate response that sits beautifully in ensemble settings without demanding dominance. The medium weight construction balances projection with control, making them equally effective for delicate single crashes or repeated rhythmic patterns. Their dark, rich timbres respond predictably across soft to moderate dynamic levels, giving players the nuance needed for refined musical contexts.

Tone & Projection

Built with B20 bronze in a natural finish, this pair produces the warm, blended character SABIAN's Viennese line is known for—with enhanced sustain and projection compared to the original HH Viennese models. The articulate, dark sound cuts through ensemble textures while maintaining musical refinement across a variety of settings.

Design & Build

Medium weight construction provides responsive feel and balanced sound output for hand cymbal playing. Included cymbal straps ensure secure, comfortable grip during performance, and the B20 bronze composition delivers the durability and tonal consistency expected from professional-grade cymbals.
