Weight isn't everything. The shape of the bow and the size of the bell
dramatically change how a cymbal sounds and responds. Explore 172
combinations across 4 bell types and a full curve range.

Bell Types:
• Flat — Quietest, most pronounced stick attack
• Small — Dry and focused with less wash
• Medium — Balanced projection and stick response
• Large — Maximum brightness and projection

Curve Profiles:
• Low curve — Darker tone, more wash, less stick definition
• Mid curve — The sweet spot between wash and articulation
• High curve — Brighter pitch, less wash, maximum stick definition

Light, Dark, and System theme modes.
