I have written for them loud before, and with the right beater they make a
nice racket.

Is anyone familiar with the dynamic range of antique cymbals (crotali)? I'm
familiar with their use in quiet passages by Ravel and Debussy, and in louder
(though by no means fortissimo) passages by Stravinsky. Is it reasonable to
expect them to be heard over a full choral/orchestral tutti?
