Review: The two different Chinas in this series are quite wonderful, and so likeable. They have lots of small hammer marks, which I'm guessing lends to the exotic, complex sound. These feature a round bell, not a square one. Both sides produce a different sound, so if you need a china that can do more than one thing, this is what you're looking for. The 22" size is trashier than its 18" sibling, and with more sustain. The 18" is wonderful for quick accents.
