One-of-a-kind Cymbals

Handmade in Brussels, Belgium

A small workshop near the heart of Brussels ran solely by independent cymbalsmith:

Mariano Gabriel Quijano

A space dedicated fully to the creation of highly expressive and dynamic instruments, where attentive and precise hand-hammering, lathing and patina processes, both traditionally learnt and independently developed through the years are used to achieve nonesuch results.

All cymbals are made using Turkish-origin B20 bronze of the highest quality sourced from various traditional foundries, and every single bell is hand-hammered into shape, yielding deeper complexity, blooming high-end harmonics and generally allowing for a wider array of possible sonic outcomes.
