MEINL Percussion Oriental Finger Cymbals – 2 3/8′

MEINL Percussion 2 3/8′ Oriental Finger Cymbals (Pair) – FICY-2
Introduce clear, shimmering, and traditional acoustic accents to your music, dance arrangements, or mindfulness practices with the Meinl Percussion Oriental Finger Cymbals (FICY-2). Measuring a compact 2 3/8 inches (6 cm) in diameter, this premium pair of miniature cymbals is engineered to deliver a bright, cutting sound with an unexpectedly long, warm sustain.
Crafted from a special bronze alloy, these finger cymbals (traditionally known as zills or sagat) are a vital asset for belly dancers, street buskers, acoustic folk ensembles, and alternative sound therapists.
Perfectly Pitched for Pure Resonance
What sets the Meinl FICY-2 Finger Cymbals apart is their strict structural uniformity. Both cymbals are calibrated to be identical in pitch. When tapped together, they eliminate sour or dissonant tracking, generating a clean, shimmering chorus effect that cuts beautifully through denser acoustic environments or environmental background static.
Key Features
• Special Sound-Optimized Bronze Alloy: Built relatively thick from high-grade bronze, providing excellent physical durability, exceptional clarity, and professional-grade volume.
• Durable Rubber Loop Connections: Outfitted with heavy-duty rubber bands through the center. They sit comfortably and securely over your thumb and fingers without sliding off or flattening the metal’s natural vibration.
• Ultra-Lightweight & Comfortable Handling: At just 160 grams per pair, they allow for fast-paced rhythmic patterns and extended performances over long periods without finger fatigue.
• Pro Playing Tip: To achieve the maximum projection and resonance, tap the edge of one cymbal against the edge of the other at a 90-degree angle. Gently shaking your fingers immediately after contact produces an elegant, sweeping vibrato effect.
