Background: This series contained no silver, unlike Sabian's other B20 lines, in order to sell at a cheaper price point. This was Sabian's first attempt at a budget-minded B20 alloy series. Twenty years would pass before trying again, with the XS20 line.
Alloy: B20
Quality: Entry to mid-level
Production: Produced by Tosco in Italy. Liquid bronze was poured into molds. Once dry, a mounting hole was drilled, the cymbals were lathed, and then edged. The cymbals suffered from premature breakage, leading to its short lifespan.
