Crotales are tuned cymbals, sometimes called antique cymbals and generally come in sets of one octave. They sound as written and are played with either hard plastic or brass mallets.

Rather than having their faces brought together to sound, as happens for clash cymbals, antique cymbals are sounded by striking their edges together. They tend to have a very high pitch sound, sometimes of quite definite pitch or otherwise sounding similar to a triangle.

Cymbals were employed by Turkish janissaries in the 14th century or earlier. By the 17th century, such cymbals were used in European music, and more commonly played in military bands and orchestras by the mid 18th century.

Cymbals are thin domed plates used as percussion instruments. When cymbals are struck, they vibrate and radiate sound. Cymbals are made through spin forming, hammering, and lathing. The spin forming creates the basic shape of the cymbal, which determines its basic vibration characteristics.

For the 3,000 or so years before 1618, cymbals had evolved very little. The earliest evidence of them can be found on pottery fragments from Hittite Anatolia dating to the Bronze Age.
