Wuhan cymbals are not cheaper because they use lower-quality materials, but more because of the country of origin itself: China. Labor in China comes at a much lower cost than in other cymbal-producing countries, so the production process becomes much cheaper. Wuhan also prioritizes production over advertising and marketing, which cuts its expenses by a fair margin. Despite their lower price tag, their B8 and B20 alloys are still top-notch, and their brilliant finishes are up there with any other manufacturers.
