- Here's one of the rarest Istanbuls you will ever see. Super early and collectible! And this is the THINNEST I’ve ever seen! Darker with a glassy, clean shimmer.
- And as many a Cymbalholic knows, this Pre-Split Istanbul Flat Ride is affectionately known as the “Danny Gottlieb Signature”, because…well that’s what his Signature Model was….this 20” Flat Ride.
- Rare very Early Istanbul Pre Split Agop Mehmet 20” Flat Ride. Both Signatures are prominently under the bell and it has the iconic emerald green ISTANBUL logo.
- A perfect blend of a focused fantastic pinpoint, chime-like stick attack mixed with a hint of Hand-Hammered smokiness - but just a pinch. Very TIGHT and clean sounding, especially for a Hand Hammered cymbal.
- 2485 grams ensures plenty of cut without clank! Again, this one is THIN for this early Flat Series.
- Unbelievably smooth, reminiscent of the Paiste 602 18" Flat Ride but with a slightly more organic, earthen tone.
- This beauty has aged 35 years and is tight and crisp. You can build an entire set up around a unique voice like this. Something that stands above the rest.
- Fantastic condition with no issues. Light Golden patina that has befriended it and dries it out.
- This cymbal was a meteor in the night in the 1980s and 1990s. No one was making Hand Hammered cymbals like this - in the Old World way. And the rest they say….is history, and you can own a piece of that.
