Description
Type: Ride Country/Region of Manufacture: Turkey
Brand: Zildjian


Beautiful 22" (21 15/16") K Zildjian ride cymbal made in Istanbul, Turkey. It weighs in at approximately 2290 grams, making it on the thin side. It sports the "new" stamp, which would mean it was made between 1966 and 1976. This cymbal has no major issues; it has no cracks, flea bites, warping, or keyholing. The only real thing worth mentioning is a spot under the bell about an inch long where it seems a metal washer might have had prolonged contact with the underside and worn a light gouge into the metal (see pic). It poses no threat of a crack as long as the new owner uses a good thick felt on the stand. The cymbal has moderate wear and was never cleaned by me. There are some stick marks, a few small, light stains and some average wear associated with being used. Not a museum piece, but very presentable and it plays beautifully. Great even wash, with pronounced stick and it has "edge wobble". This cymbal will be lovingly packed in a heavy box with lots of bubble wrap.High bidder pays full UPS insured for domestic, USPS priority insured for international. I accept paypal only.No returns.      > > >
