- I’ll keep this one simple:
- If you want a signature sound, it’s starts here. And ends here.
- Massive 24” THIN Vintage Zildjian Istanbul K.
- I’ve seen about 5 of these in the last 30 years. The wait pays off. It’s one of the rarest, most collectible cymbals I’ve ever encountered.
- This is the thinnest one I’ve seen at only 2670 grams.
- 2 feet of Hand Hammered ISTANBUL K forged at the Zildjian factory in Turkey.
This is the cymbal cymbal-makers have been trying to make for eons.
- Dark. Luscious Crash. Ultra warm. That perfect elixir of inimitable Turkish Hand Hammered DRY COMPLEX tone. Organic. Lower pitched with a unique, hand shaped bell that measures 6.5”.
- It’s just its own instrument and it’s a joy to explore. Rides and well as it crashes.
- Stunning, striated, lathing patterns on the surface, wavy Old World Hand Hammering gives this 2 foot beauty a beautiful rippled surface.
- There’s no mistaking it.
- A stunning 2670 grams.
- Dark, chocolate brown half-century old patina matches the sound.
- No cracks. Typical light wear on a half-century old Thin Zildjian. Has the shadow of a Zildjian logo on top (I got this from the original owner’s son and I think he added it in the 80s himself but he picked up this 24” Istanbul K Cymbal in the 1960s when he purchased a new Slingerland kit.) Istanbul K the K ISTANBUL factory stamp.
- Hand made. Glorious.
- Thinking of starting a cymbal company - start with this.
- This Zildjian Istanbul K 24” is to be celebrated for its history, cultural musical significance, artistry, and its sound.
- Forged in Turkey, it’s been making music for the last half-a-century and has much more to say.
