No and it wouldnt make a difference

They all sound different thats why there "hand-made"

Just go to a music store and find a couple of 16" wuhans and pick the one u think sounds best

i expected this thread to be a little different...something like this:

"Wuhan chinas....break all the freaking time."

i've had mine for three years without a break. the great thing about wuhan is that you can never get the same results from two of them, even if they're the same model.

truthfully, completly my opinion, wuhan chinas are the best. i actually think its really cool how even the same model can sound different then other cymbals of the same model and size. the 16 is my fav by far. perfect for accents, riding on, and crashing. its trashy but with a fairly quick decay which is good so it doesnt sound like a gong like my zildjian china. think about what size you want, take like 3 the same size and decide from those three which will do you the most good. i just got luckey i found a winner. compliments my 14 perfectly. love the wuhans. ive had my 14 for 4 years and its never cracked. it will dent, but that just adds character to the cymbal

i have a 12" wuhan that cracked after 6 months or so but i didnt even expect that much out of it. the only problem i have with them is that there is no sustain at all. i heard jeff bowder playing one with paul gilbert at g3 a week ago and it sounded good but it had no life to it.

The smaller the size the shorter the sound...larger..longer decay
