RARE Istanbul AGOP 20” Sultan FACTORY CRASH 1817 g Dark Full Hard To Find 20”

Here’s a hard to find AGOP: the Sultan Factory Stamped “CRASH” in the generously sized 20”.

I’ve never seen this one before - the Sultan Series has become harder to find over the years but a Factory 20” CRASH? We will probably both never see another.  

And never hear another! Have a listen so you can buy with confidence instead of guessing at pictures.

As you can see, this Agop Sultan (just like the Agop/Bosphorus versions) is Half-Lathed and Half-Unlathed and heavily Hand Hammered throughout. The underside is fully lathed.

Weighing in at a wonderfully thin 1817 grams, this Istanbul Agop 20" plays like a wonderfully thinner Dark FULL Crash. Just as promised.
GLORY BE!!! When you crash this cymbal at the outer edge, it really opens up into a full blossom and with a light touch it makes a great 20" Light Ride.

The bell is Hand Hammered and raw and quite solid for a crash cymbal.

Overall dark and full with an organic tone and medium low pitch. Terrific spread of overtones with a slight focused wash. Warm and complex with an earthen tone mixed in.  

Sounds amazing.  

Aged and mellowed over the last decade.  No issues. Very clean with perfect logos.

A rare Istanbul Agop cymbal that I’ve never seen before.
