SABIAN 18" Artisan Sym Medium Light Single

This 18" Artisan Medium Light cymbal cuts through with immediacy and clarity, delivering quick articulation across a broad dynamic range. The medium-light weight classification produces a splashier quality with shorter sustain than its heavier counterparts, making it exceptionally versatile for both soft playing and successive crashes. Hand-crafted by master artisans using centuries-old techniques, this cymbal bridges traditional orchestral sound with modern performance demands.

Tone & Character

The Artisan Medium Light produces a rich, warm tone that projects cleanly in ensembles, auditions, and live marching contexts. Its responsive nature accommodates soft to loud dynamics without losing definition, making it a reliable choice for players replacing vintage orchestral models while preserving that authentic vintage character that holds up on stage.

Construction & Craftsmanship

Traditional high-density hand hammering combines with modern jumbo-peen dimpling on the underside to create a cymbal built for consistent performance across any repertoire. Each cymbal is individually hand-hammered and finished by master SABIAN artisans, ensuring the consistency and tonal authenticity needed for dependable live work.
