Can I change the cymbal size / type?
Yes, please contact me to discuss this.
I usually have plenty of cymbal blanks in stock but may need to order specifically, so the more notice you can give, the better.
But yes - all sizes & styles of cymbal can be made, no idea too wacky!

Can I learn cymbal-making to a deeper level?
Yes! The Make Your Own Cymbal session is designed as a standalone experience, but you’ll learn a lot about how the metal is worked to produce sound.
If you wish to dive further into the craft, I teach cymbal makers all over the world.
I run one-to-one classes online via video call, in-person here in Bristol or anywhere in the world at your own premises.
I teach beginners and pros, and adapt my teaching methods to each student.
