The Yamaha CS8W Cymbal Stand (CS8W) is a heavy-duty, double-braced boom cymbal stand that boasts several features that have made Yamaha's reliable hardware touring and studio favorites for many years. By pinching the movable part on the side of the quick release nut, you can attach and detach it instantly, making cymbal installation quick and effortless. Hide-Away Boom Arms can be retracted into the main pipe. This enables them to be set up as straight stands and takes up less space when packed up. The enhanced cymbal washer is made by combining a soft material (outer/black part) and a hard material (inner/blue part), which fully brings out the cymbal’s natural resonance. Each cymbal sleave is threaded to prevent unwanted rattling during play. Step-free tilter allows smooth, infinite angle adjustment, letting you set your cymbal exactly where you want it. Desgined for professional use on stage and in studios, the CS8W is the heavyweight total package offering unmatched stability suitable for any musical genre.
