Small Cymbals, Big Presence
Finger cymbals tend to look unassuming — two little discs, a bit of elastic, done. But the moment you click a pair of Zildjian P0771s together, you understand immediately why they've had a place in orchestras, dance studios, and percussion ensembles for so long. That ring just carries. It cuts right through the texture of whatever's going on around it, and it hangs in the air long enough to make a real statement.
These are the thick version, which means a high-pitched, piercing tone with plenty of projection. Whether you need them to be heard above a full orchestra or to add a shimmering accent in a smaller setting, the P0771s are up to the task. Zildjian has been casting bronze cymbals for centuries, and the same care that goes into their full-size instruments is reflected here — right down to the natural cast finish.
They're a genuine workhorse for anyone who needs reliable, well-voiced finger cymbals: educators, orchestral percussionists, dancers, or world music performers looking for that authentic shimmer.
Cast Bronze Construction
The P0771s are cast from Zildjian's own bronze alloy — the same material tradition behind their full-size cymbal lineup. Casting (versus stamping) gives the cymbals a more complex, consistent voice with a natural resonance that stamped sheet metal simply can't match.
The natural cast finish keeps the look clean and classic, with no coating to interfere with the cymbal's raw acoustic character. What you hear is the alloy itself — bright, cutting, and with a sustain that lingers well after the initial strike.
High Pitch, Real Projection
The thick weight is the key to what makes these cymbals distinct from Zildjian's thin (P0770) version. Thickness raises the pitch and increases projection, making these the right choice when you need to be heard in a large hall or above a dense ensemble texture. Players often find that in louder settings — orchestral percussion sections, full band arrangements — the thick version is the one that actually registers on the listener's ear.
That high-pitched, piercing ring isn't harsh or unpleasant; it's focused. The cymbals are matched as a pair for a consistent, blended tone when struck together.
