- Well, this just makes me happy! The grand piano of cymbals.
- A truly Hand Hammered 28”! And it’s soooo beautiful to play…mesmerizing to watch.
- This is reminiscent of those HUGE Zildjians you would see in the background of a 1940s or 1950s Zildjian ad with Philly Joe Jones. Just a massive wavy hand-hammered cymbal lying against the wall and you’re like “what the hell is that?!!”
- Well, this rare 28” celebrates that era and vibe!
- Ultra Rare HUGE Bosphorus 28” Antique Sultan - Style Factory Crash Ride in Immaculate shape!
-
As you can see, this stunning 28” has a hand-hammered unlathed bell feeding into a lathed 4” section, into an unlathed 4” then lathed out the edge.
- The result is a cymbal that has all the wonderful light, semi-dry attack of a TURK Ride COMBINED with the warmer glow and wash of a lathed Bosphorus Traditional Series - that’s the BEAUTY of the Antique Series. It’s their ISTANBUL SULTAN. Half lathed. Half unlathed.
- With a thin weight of 4040 grams, this MASSIVE 28” Bosphorus Antique plays like a great, complex-sounding Medium Thin Ride or CRASH RIDE. Its edges are slightly bendable and are remarkably responsive at low to medium level volumes! Glowing, subtle but lively, responsive and warm with a smooth complexity. A gorgeous Light Ride or Crash Ride.
- Crash on this bendable beauty and it’s like nothing else! Just a glorious, wobbling ENORMOUS Crash that is a head-turner. Just gorgeous.
-
MESMERIZING to watch wobble and float about like a manta ray.
- This is a unique instrument! It’s a calling card. It can easily be your main ride or full crash! Or make it sizzle for that 1940s vibe!
- Whatever you decide, it’s an absolute JOY to play and make music with and have fun with.
- Nothing like it at all. No issues. Immaculate shape!
