Does SABIAN recycle old broken cymbals for credit towards new ones?
SABIAN does not have such a program. Although we do recycle all cymbals returned to us and accepted for warranty replacement, we do not accept non-warranty cymbals as credit towards new one. The value of a broken cymbal no longer covered by warranty is limited to the metal it is made from. And while the cost of metals has increased substantially in recent years, the scrap value of a broken cymbal would not even cover the cost of the return shipping.
