  • Very hard to find ISTANBUL right here from way back in the day!  Telltale EMERALD GREEN LOGO with the Factory RED INK! 

  • Hand Hammered - Before ANYONE had seen this kind of craftsmanship and beauty!  This is the mid 80s and early 90s and this is THE company that ushered in the old world craftsmanship renaissance - the kind of artistry that fomented a movement of boutique cymbalsmiths.

  • Istanbul’s old-world Zildjian Istanbul K-styled handiwork attracted the ears and signatures of jazz greats Mel Lewis and Elvin Jones. And this 10” SPLASH is from that hallowed era.

  • Opens very quickly. Inimitable Complex shimmer with a hand hammered broad spread. FAST. 
  • Light and airy tone that actually SPLASHES. 

  • Very thin and bendable edges at only 242 grams. 

  •  As musical as the first artists they attracted. The rest, as they say, is history….
  • Extremely clean. No issues. Typical light wear on a paper thin. 

  • So rare I’ve not seen another.
