  • One of the driest of this series I’ve heard, terrific attack: 
  • To have a cymbal Series named after "New Orleans" is quite a bold statement. But, I have to give it to Bosphorus. This 20” 2002 gram beauty is indeed a fantastic tribute to the city's illustrious musical history. 

  • Dont guess at cymbal pictures!  Have a listen to this exact cymbal so you can buy with confidence! 

  • As you can see, this hand-hammered gem is partially lathed with alternating gold and brown ribbons - similar to an Istanbul Agop Special Edition Ride, that's the vibe. 

  • What I love about this particular 20” is that its defining characteristics are DRY, LIGHT, AIRY, and yet also CONTROLLED with a subtle clean tone for such a Hand Hammered cymbal. 

  • This gorgeous 20” has a terrific stick attack and still remains controlled and doesn’t wash out. 

  • And that is the brilliance of this particular Bosphorus. Light and airy with an organic, subtle complexity, but overall clean sounding. The best definition of any New Orleans I’ve seen. 

  • Hand hammering and partial lathing keeps it organic and a bit complex.

  • At 2002 grams it swims in Medium Thin territory. Light and complex enough to sound like a Thin Ride but with enough tension and weight to yield a strong stick definition.  

  • IMMACULATE CONDITION. Not easy to find this Hand Hammered lovely, especially where you can hear it first.
