  • Here’s a Very Rare and wonderfully complex K Constantinople - and in the generous 22” size. This beauty was only made for a brief window and it was the ONLY HYBRID style K Cons they made. And these 22s are even harder to find. 

  • The famous Zildjian K Constantinople HI BELL THIN HIGH RIDE 22”  in fantastic condition! This one belonged to an artist and it’s a beauty! It’s one of the very first ones they made. Aged 22 years! 

  • A true Dry Complex K Constantinople - and in this case very complex. 

  • This was a hard to find Zildjian even when they were being produced. And artist for this one. 

  • Check out the alternating wide band gold and natural lathing on the inside that gives way to a fully lathed outer portion. 

  • All with the K Cons Armand Signature emblazoned on the underside. 

  • Weighing in at a THIN to Paper Thin 2275 grams this Killer K plays like a Thin Light Complex Semi-Dry Ride.
     
  • The initial stick attack is slightly dry but what's amazing is that the ensuing wash is much nastier, organic and more complex than all other drier rides. 

  • The definition is prominent and definitely organic in tone and the proceeding wash has more of an "AAAHHH" to it than most dry rides do. More complex than the K Cons of this era. 

  • Slightly controlled yet with a complexity to it. As the overtones swim around, they never eclipse the initial attack. The bell rises high off the plain and  is semi-integrated and cuts nicely without being overbearing-it's perfect for "the latin thing."

  • When you crash on this Hybrid K Cons, it reveals its darkest side-much nastier than a regular K. 

  • More complex, more organic, yet still semi-dry. One line ZILDJIAN rivet dances on the edge for the sweetest light vintage sizzle.  

  • It can easily be a BIG Dry Complex Crash. Perfect for accents while riding. The wash decays very quickly for 22”. 

  • No issues.  Light and mellowed 22 year old  patina that has built up naturally. 

  • Very Hard to find. Collectible. Perfect for absolutely any style. 

  • One of Zildjian’s best cymbals from their most famous series.
