The back and forth on this is starting to get out of hand. If you have no problem potenially ruining a cymbal to replace patina that probably shouldn't have been removed in the first place, be my guest. I personally think the idea of applying a corrosive to a cymbal is ridiculous. I would never purchase a cymbal from anyone at any price that was treated with a corrosive. You seem to think its no big deal, but it is if the sound of a good vintage cymbal is more important than how it looks. First you go on about shining cymbals to remove patina, and then you want to replace the patina using chemicals. I, and most collectors of vintage cymbals would do neither.
I AM CLEANING my cymbals. I prefer the look and the sound of a new cymbal. There more open and sound better to me. Now its all corrosion though I don't see what your getting at with saying its bad. The end product is the same its just a different route to get there. There is absolutely no difference at the end. It will have the patina back on and not only that the precious patina will be one of a much better quality.
Me myself I am cleaning them and keeping them clean. I am just wanting to experiment to prove my point of it doesn't matter. How are you to ever know the difference sir? When you buy a vintage cymbal how will you know if its over 50 years or "artificial" as you so call it?
