- Here's a glorious pair of DARK CRISP Istanbuls that are hard to find. I’m not sure if they’re Prototypes or Custom. I don’t see any markings but they sure as hell are organic, dark and crisp.
- Have a listen! They’re some of the nicest Hand Hammered Hihats you will hear. They have a control and focus to them - and that is not always the case with Hand Hammered Hats.
- These glorious 14” Istanbuls have the craftsmanship of the famous Turk Series - raw, unlathed, heavily hand-hammered, howveer with this particular pair the bells have a Brilliant finish and are very finely lathed.
- The end result: a pair of organic, Turk style Hihats with a pinch more refinement and an added shimmer on top.
- Weighing in at a perfect 1022 and 1298 grams, these gorgeous 14s” sound magnificent when splashed together with your foot, opened or closed.
- They have New Beat or K Zildjian styled weights however they PLAY much thinner and are much more responsive.
- They sound like more refined and focused ISTANBUL TURK Hihats. And who doesn’t love THAT story.
- Unique, dark, medium lower pitched, organic and fairly controlled with a short decay. Exceptionally responsive and musical. Open them for a beautiful slosh. Great chick with your foot.
- Immaculate condition; no big company offers anything as thin as these hand-crafted 14s”. Some of my favorite Istanbul Hats.
