- Here's a great smoky, dark Istanbul.....and you never see these things!! But this one is so good! One of the nicest cymbals you will come across!
- Have a listen so you can buy with confidence! Stunning.
- This 22” looks like Zildjian used it as inspiration for the K Constantinople Hi Bell Ride.
- As you can see this beauty is Dual lathed; the outer 4.5” are traditionally lathed, while the inner 13.5 are thickly lathed with alternating brown and gold hues. And the underside is fully UNLATHED and HAND HAMMERED, which helps dry the tone out and support stick definition.
- Absolutely stunning craftsmanship on this 22”. This beauty is clearly hand crafted and it is the fraternal twin to the Istanbul Vezir Ride.
- As you can see this beauty is immaculate. And this 22” is VERY hard to find. If you dig complex but not overbearing, than this 22” is a terrific choice!
- Still has a very warm smoothness to it!
- Weighing in at a lovely and surprisingly THIN 2365 grams, this 22” Mehmet plays like a DARK and semi-dry Multi-Surface Thin to Medium Thin Complex Ride.
- Again, this cymbal is completely unlathed and raw on the underside, while the top has two distinct surfaces that are lathed in different fashions. And it is heavily hand hammered all over. Classic Turkish style.
- This 22” delivers a smokey, dark, organic, and definitely earthy and complex wash....and you get that Classic Hand Hammered tone.
- Semi-dry, organic stick attack with a dark, smoky wash.
- This is one of the thinnest Empires I’ve ever seen. Opens up at just a whisper.
- Crash on it for a huge, organic dark crash. Makes a magnificent crash! Outfitted with two factory brass rivets for the lightest, subtle wash. Very, very mellow.
- Perfect condition! Only played for the video. Amazing Hand Hammered Istanbul that’s hard to find. One of the nicest cymbals I have.
