  • Sure you can spend $600 on a new pair of non-hand hammered Zildjian Light Hihats....

  • THAT WON'T ACTUALLY SOUND LIGHT. 

  • Now check out this gorgeous sounding pair of raw, unlathed and actually Hand Hammered Bosphorus Masters Vintage 14” HiHats. 

  • And they actually sound light!  Imagine that.  A perfect 800 and 1104 grams. That’s a VERY thin top. 

  • Have a listen. This pair is particularly complex and airy. 

  • Hard to find outside of a stock photo -  Bosphorus MASTER VINTAGE 14” Hi Hats that are in Immaculate Condition. 

  • As you can see, the Vintage line and the Turk line share a common ancestry. They’re raw and Hand Hammered and unlathed but the Master Vintage is THINNER and more refined sounding.  

  • Weighing in at a svelte 800 grams for the Top Cymbal and 1104 grams for the Bottom cymbal, these 14s” play like Dry Thin LIGHT Hi Hats that still offer a strong CHICK.  

  • As you can see, the Top of these cymbals is Raw and completely Unlathed except for the outer 1/8". The underside of the cymbals are completely Unlathed. Period. The tone is dark, slightly complex, organic, and DRY, compliments of the Raw Unlathed surface. 

  • These Hi Hats are controlled in both volume and wash-compliments of those thin weights and unlathed surface.

  • Open them up for a glorious slosh that is not overbearing or too loud. They remain mellow, and that’s a beautiful thing on hi hats. 

  • Perfect for very quiet to medium loud.  Extremely responsive at lower volumes.  Amazing in old school jazz, New Orleans, freight-train-a-comin’ grooves and anything with SOUL.

  • Why spend hundreds more on non-hand hammered, non-light sounding Zildjians when you can have it ALL…for less. 

  • These beauties make the Zildjians seem like "Rock Hats." 

  • No issues. Perfect shape. Only played for the video  Gorgeous looking and sounding.
