ZILDJIAN | K ISTANBUL | OLD STAMP | RIDE | 18" |

For your supreme viewing and listening delight is this wonderful and rare vintage 18" K Zildjian Istanbul ride cymbal. Measuring a true 18 inches, this beautiful cymbal bears the sought-after Old Stamp IVb, dating from 1959.

The old-world hand hammering and exquisite lathing are a true testament to the craftsmanship of the era. Like the finest old Ks, this cymbal is extremely responsive, offering an authoritative woody stick definition alongside a nuanced, complex warmth that is instantly recognisable as the work of a truly gifted cymbalsmith.

The hand-formed bell is complex, musical and wonderfully expressive, delivering everything one could hope for from a vintage 18" K. Cosmetically, the cymbal is in excellent condition, with no cracks, bends, warping or keyholing.
