    K Constantinople Vintage Orchestral pairs give the percussionist a cymbal voice for pronounced crashes and quicker passages. They project a drier sound, with more articulation for executing short, syncopated rhythms. Though classified as 'medium light', Vintage K's are generally heavier in comparison to other Orchestral K's, so their sound can be described as a little more 'platey'. Resonating with complex harmonics, Orchestral Vintage cymbals possess a bold, dark sound that is characteristic of all K Constantinople hand cymbals.
