Review: "K Zildjian are making China Boys in what you might call intermediate sizes, ie 17" and 19". The larger one had a more raucous sound perfect for punctuation while the 17" was not only higher pitched, it was prettier."

Review: (NOTE: This review takes place after the entire series was re-designed in 2001)
"The 19" China is another cymbal that’s loaded for bear. I pity the guitarist who turns up too loud near this baby, because it can compete. Extra-turned-up edges may give it more of a gong-ish sound than other Chinas. This cymbal bows out from the bell down to a wide flange that starts a couple of inches from the edge. There’s a bigger playing surface when the cymbal is flipped over, providing more sound options and more control over the roar."
