Strengths and weaknesses
Strengths
- Genuinely the lowest price point available for a real (not toy) marching cymbal pair with straps included.
Weaknesses
- Smaller 6" size produces a lighter, less full sound than the larger 13"+ pairs standard programs typically use — best understood as a practice-scale pair rather than a full-size replacement.
