18" Black Pearl China 1127g.  The Black Pearl features a unique second firing process resulting in the delicious dark brown surface. The mid-sized round hammering leaves a textured surface that frequently leaves what appear to be scratches along the edges of the hammer marks. The polished bell and outer edge open the sound and add a bit of modern tone to the dark rich tone of the cymbal. This is arguably the flagship model of Constantine Cymbals and must be heard to be believed.
