Masterwork cymbals are manufactured completely by hand in the finest Turkish tradition. The new company founded by drummers and cymbal smiths is located in Istanbul and manufactures 7 series in the traditional B-20 alloy. Every cymbal is melted, hammered, lathed and finished by specialists and only leaves the factory after being subjected to a stringent series of quality controls and soundchecks which is a basic aspect of the corporate philosophy.
CUSTOM SERIES: The all-rounder in the Masterwork range the custom series offers awide frequency spectrum a warm fundamental sound and dynamic sensitivity.
RESONANT SERIES: Cymbals in the Resonant Series are hand- polish to a high gloss finish.The Masterwork resonant series has a brilliant but nonetheless essentially warm sound. Ideal for everything from pop to rock.
NATURAL SERIES: The Natural Series from Masterwork is hard-hammered but not lathed.A deep earthy sound with complex undertones and a pronounced but clear Ping are peculiarities of the Masterwork Natural series-characteristics that are further enhanced by light attack and warm sustain.
CUSTOM POINTER SERIES: Like no other Masterwork series,Custom Pointer cymbals have deep imprints of the hammer.An outstanding dynamic range and an earthy basic sound with plenty of warmth is complemented by presence and attack. This is a cymbal that can be controlled perfectly.
SEHAR SERIES: The Sehar Series from Masterwork is like a cross between the Custom and the Natural Series. The middle and underside are lathed in the traditional way,whilst the edge and the bell are merely hammered.Crystal-clear stick definition and complex,warm undertones,a crisp attack and a gong like decay are the main characteristics of the Masterwork Sehar Series.
