| "The Dancers Choice"! The hypnotic compelling custom of movement to rhythm is as ancient as mankind itself. Percussion devices, the conveyors of rhythm, were the first instruments created; integral parts of the rites of celebration, mourning, and religion. With the advent of the Bronze Age, the musical quality of metals naturally became an important tonal addition to the existing instrumentality. Derived from the Greek word "Kymbala", cymbals were the most beautiful and versitile of these rhythm accessories. The use of cymbals actually affixed to the thumbs and middle fingers of dancers' hands was recorded as early as 500 A.D. Today, finger cymbals are popularly played by dancers on both the cabaret and the concert stage. The intricate musical patterns they create and their sparkling sound quality make the cymbals indispensible to Middle Eastern music and dance. |  |
To continue and further this, Saroyan has researched and developed an exquisite collection of finger cymbals, encompassing both historic and contemporary designs. Each set carries its own distinctive tonal effect. Saroyan Cymbals have been acclaimed and endorsed by internationally known dancers, instructors, musicians, and recording artists.
