Zildjian Crotales have a definite chromatic pitch. They produce clear, unblemished notes when struck individually with small mallets or when struck in pairs. Crafted from the Zildjian alloy, they are used to interpret special sounds in classical works and percussion ensembles and have become increasingly important in contemporary music.
Crotales have a range from Middle C on the piano up two Octaves. Single notes and octaves (high and low) are available.
