※ Please refrain from negotiating discounts. PAISTE Sound Formula Splash 12-inch Splash Cymbal Thank you for viewing. This is a 12-inch splash cymbal from the PAISTE Sound Formula series. The Sound Formula series is now discontinued, and it is characterized by its high level of both "clarity" and "musical cohesion" among PAISTE cymbals. (I was told by a musical instrument store that it has the same composition as the current Signature series.) It was widely used by professionals, especially in the 80s and 90s, and because it has a slightly different character from the current line, it has become less common to see good condition ones in recent years. I used it a few times for recording and intended to keep it for a while, but it seems that I will not use it frequently in my future kit configuration, so I am selling it to organize my equipment. I would be happy if I could sell it to someone who will cherish it. ※ Please note that I may cancel the listing midway due to recording sessions, tours, etc. ▼ Condition I think it is in good condition for its age, and I personally like the sound's quick response and ease of handling. There are no cracks, splits, or keyhole deformations. ▼ Sound Characteristics (Reference) It is characterized by a very fast attack and a short, crisp splash sound. It has the clarity with a core that is typical of the Sound Formula, while also having a balanced feel that doesn't pierce the ears. It can also be used like a crash, and it is a cymbal that naturally highlights section changes. ▼ Recommended Points Recommended for those looking for a sound unique to PAISTE's transitional period, different from the current models, or for those looking for a good condition item from a discontinued series. The 12-inch size is also easy to use and easy to incorporate into your setup. ▼ Shipping It will be carefully packed with cushioning material and shipped in a cardboard box. ▼ Notes Please refrain from purchasing if you do not understand used items, are sensitive to details, or are looking for a new item.
