CLASS IN SESSION‼️All B20 bronze is not created equal. Can you see the difference between the Turkish and Chinese alloys? Both of these scraps are from modifications, and both cymbals came from reputable foundries. Chinese B20 shavings are harder, sharper and more jagged while the Turkish shavings are softer and more smooth. In general, Chinese made B20 is harder and more brittle than Turkish alloy. Why? A higher percentage of iron, silicon, sulfur and lead are present. Trace amounts of these substances and others are found in most high tin bronzes, however once the content passes a certain threshold, negative qualities such as veining and brittleness become much more common. I’m not dumping on Chinese made bronze or saying one is better than the other, just dropping fact bombs and you make up your own mind as to what you want to play!! - - - - - #science#metallurgy#bronzecasting#metallathe#shavings#B20#bellbronze#youdecide#classinsession#teacherhasspoken#master#thecymbalwhisperer (at Comparison) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBRmwNh7lB/?igshid=aopj1760ahtb
