- Here's one of the early Series that put Istanbul on the map 35 years ago! And this one has mellowed over the last several years.
- Don’t guess at stock photos. Have a listen to this exact cymbal and buy with confidence!
- Mel Lewis was one of Istanbul’s very first endorsers - along with Elvin Jones. And this whole Series made Agop turn heads.
- Of course this Flagship Agop Mel Lewis 19" has a dark glowing warm tone, and being the 19” it has a faster response and is overall more controlled than the larger sizes. It’s warm with both dark and bright overtones present.
- At 1722 grams, it certainly isn't heavy. But, it's not paper-thin and overly washy either, hence the strong definition - and that’s a great thing on a 19”.
- Where this 19" Mel Lewis really shines is that it can play a lot of positions about the Kit - Main Ride, Larger Full Crash, or Left-Side Crash Ride.
- Fantastic condition, strong logos, no issues. Beautiful golden patina that dries and mellows it out organically.
