Meinl 20" Byzance Dual Crash/Ride - 1798g - Good Condition / Structurally Solid

The 20" Meinl Byzance Dual Crash/Ride is a professional cymbal designed to function equally well as both a ride and a crash. The Byzance Dual series combines a raw, dark center area with a lathed outer edge, giving the cymbal a unique balance of dry articulation, explosive crash response, and complex handmade character.

At 1798 grams, this cymbal sits in a very versatile weight range. It has enough definition to be used as a ride, but it opens up easily and crashes beautifully when played with more force. This makes it a strong choice for worship, jazz, fusion, indie, R&B, pop, studio work, and dynamic live settings where one cymbal needs to cover multiple roles.

Used Cymbal / Buyer Satisfaction Note

This is a used cymbal and may show normal cosmetic signs of use, including stick marks, fingerprints, patina, oxidation, logo wear, or other finish imperfections depending on the cymbal. I do my best to carefully inspect, photograph, and describe each cymbal as accurately and honestly as possible.

That said, condition can be somewhat subjective, especially with used cymbals. For that reason, I offer a 7-day return policy. If the cymbal arrives and does not meet your expectations, please contact me right away before leaving feedback so I have the opportunity to make it right.

My goal is simple: accurate descriptions, no surprises, and 100% buyer satisfaction.

Sonic Splice Notes

This 20" Byzance Dual Crash/Ride is a true player’s cymbal. Cosmetically, it shows noticeable oxidation, patina, and stick marks, so I am grading it conservatively as Good. Structurally, however, it is solid with no cracks, no keyholing, no flea bites, no dents, and no repairs.

The sound is what makes this cymbal worth considering. At 1798 grams, it rides and crashes very well. The center area gives you a drier, more controlled stick sound, while the outer edge opens up into a broad, complex crash. It can function as a main ride, a crash/ride, or a large expressive crash depending on the setup.

This is a great option for a player who wants the flexibility of one cymbal that can cover multiple roles, especially if sound and feel matter more than perfect cosmetics.

Why Buy This Cymbal?

The Meinl Byzance Dual Crash/Ride is a highly versatile professional cymbal for players who want dry articulation, complex wash, and strong crashability in one instrument. This example gives you that high-end Byzance voice at a meaningful savings compared to buying new, with the main tradeoff being cosmetic oxidation and player wear rather than structural condition.
