Review: "Meinl’s MB10 series is made from B10 bronze, which means 90% copper and 10% tin. The high copper content results in a bright sound, and although high copper content usually gives the cymbal a more reddish color, the MB10’s look like B20.

The close-up photo below shows that the bell is not hammered or lathed, and the lathing on the main surface is very fine, shallow, and very close together. This can only be accomplished by CNC machining. The hammering is barely visible, and part of the reason for this is that the process of making a cymbal in the “Brilliant” finish involves an abrasive that removes metal. However, this is taken into account when the raw cymbal is prepared, so that the desired sound is obtained once the cymbal has been polished with the abrasive."
