FINGER CYMBALS: THEY BETTER HAVE ONE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE!
I don't know how many times I've been asked "Why do your zil have such a beautiful tone?"
The partial answer is: "They have only one hole in the center of each. I use 14 inche flat elastic in them that I painstakingly poke through the one hole."
This is an explanation for why my zil don't sound dull, clacky, or flat.
Two hole zil came into popularity just to make things easier on the dancer. Too bad it didn't make for "easy on the ear."
The best pair I ever had were from Turkey. I've been playing them forever!
