Description
Description
We have received a 20-inch K Zildjian manufactured in Istanbul, Turkey, which appears to have been manufactured between 1959 and 1966 based on the Intermediate Stamp.
It weighs 1890g, making it a rare and thin specimen.
There is almost no damage or chipping to the edges, giving the impression that it has been used carefully, and it produces a sound that is evenly distributed and has a nice, well-seasoned impression.
The exquisite weight creates an excellent balance of grain and overtones, and the dark, complex overtones that are unique to Istanbul K produce a delicate cymbal legato that is both familiar and atmospheric.
The cup sound is bright and clear. It has a weight that doesn't cause any problems even if it crashes, and it also has a bright attack.
This well-balanced instrument offers a cup sound and crash tone that are perfect for accenting a mellow, mature legato, making it perfect for acoustic sessions like jazz and blues. Enjoy the exquisite old K sound.
The holes are small, measuring approximately 11.5mm to 12mm in diameter, and we have confirmed that they can be set up on a Yamaha cymbal stand.
Size: 20 inches Weight: 1890g
*Please note that this is a vintage item and may have some scratches and dirt.
