- One of the nicest cymbals I have, right here:
- A harder to find series but worth the search when you do - fortunately you need not roam the earth guessing and looking at stock photos of this rare Istanbul. Here it is!!
- Have a listen to this exact piece so you can buy with confidence! It sounds amazing. It’s very close to the Istanbul Mel Lewis Series with a larger bell and a broader, more full crash tone. And who doesn’t love that story!
- Istanbul Mehmet 50s NOSTALGIA 22” Ride in excellent condition!
- This beauty has all the golden glowing warmth of the famous Nostalgia Series but being the 50s version the bell is larger and rounded over giving it a hint more complexity than the standard nostalgia.
- And that falls right into line with the Hand Hammered 1950s Vintage Zildjians - like the Block Stamp logo. And this 22” has that heritage. Golden glowing Hand Hammered tone but with the larger bell found on the 22s” from that era Zildjian.

2288 grams. Terrific stick attack on top with a golden wash that remains mellow and controlled but has a pinch of complexity. Extremely crashable. Very warm. The great solid bell for such a mellow cymbal.
- Perfect for any music - very quiet to loud settings - when you crash on the edge this 22” really opens up and can handle itself in louder gigs. Great for jazz but not at all limited to jazz.
- Glorious cymbal swell - so golden warm and glowing this could even be an orchestral suspended cymbal. It’s THAT lush!
- Terrific shape with no issues and a deep golden glowing patina. Aging beautifully.
- A gorgeous Istanbul that is one of the nicest Dark Warm 22s” you’ll find. And for the price of a K Custom 17” Crash.
