Description
The Istanbul K cymbals were manufactured at the Ziljan factory in Turkey from 1967-77.
These cymbals are from the so-called “new stamp” period.
This is a newer generation of Old K’s, so there are many refined pieces with a very high degree of perfection.
This model has a crash ride-like weight of 1520g for 18 inches.
The overall weight balance is good, and while it has a moderate ping sound as a ride, the crash also rises smoothly, making it ideal as a crash ride.
It has a dark and rich overtone that is typical of the K, but also has a moderate pitch feel, making it relatively easy to match with other cymbals.
Although there is overall dullness commensurate with its age, there are no keyholes, the edges are clean, and there are no deformations, which is good enough for an old cymbal.
This old K is still in good condition and can be used with confidence.
Size: 18 inches
Item rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problem in normal use.
