Introduction: 1999²
Discontinued: 2007
Background: Amun series cymbals reflect Meinl’s competence and know-how in manufacturing B8 cymbal bronze. They offer premium sounds for working drummers and ambitious professionals, who demand the maximum of energy and projection from their cymbals.¹
Innovation: Precise fine-tuning: Amun cymbals are lathed at a slower pace with a specially designed cutter. In doing so, an exact calculated amount of bronze is removed from the cymbal.¹
Alloy: B8
Quality: Professional
Applications: Made especially for live concert settings¹
Sound: Primarily made for jazz music. Wide range of dynamics, outstanding projection
