Unique PROTOTYPE 15” Istanbul Mehmet 1/2 Lathe Turk Style Hihats 818 1158 g AMAZING Dark MINT

These 15s” are glorious sounding! Stunning craftsmanship too! 

A gorgeous pair of Istanbul PROTOTYPE 15s” with a thin top yielding a sweet and not-often-heard light complexity, especially on 15s”. 

Dig the craftsmanship: the Top Cymbal interior is raw with a sandblasted finish with the outer 2” a Brilliant Finish while the Bottom Cymbal is Raw/Blackened like a Turk Series but has a rounded over Brilliant Bell. I know! I know!! THE JOY!! 

A very thin 818 Top over a healthy 1158 gram Bottom creates the perfect blend of dark, airy and whispy when opened, but still allow for a very solid CHICK tone compliments of that heavier, unlathed Turk style Bottom. 

Hand Hammered throughout. 

Open them fully for a surprising crashability!  Shut them quickly and it’s back to tight and focused. Perfect for recording. 

Perfect for very soft medium loud.  Put the heavy Turk Style Bottom on top for a more crisp and cutting option. 

You won’t find anything like these out there. A hand made, hand hammered sonic steal for less than a pair of regular-ass big box store Paiste 2002s. Literally! 

Unique 15s” with a brilliant musicality to them.  Perfect shape.
