Worth of a not spizzichino
Folks can anyone please advice me?
This is not a real Spizzichino, I know, but it looks like a B20 and may be a good cymbal.... Can anybody tell me something about this cymbal. Somebody wants to sell this or trade it for something else. I'm interested but I want to know a bit before reacting. European market.

From Pinsterboer, The Cymbal Book p167:

The Bygone Sound Antique as the title suggests? As to price, I haven't got any data for anything except real Roberto Spizzichino cymbals. Last edited by zenstat; 03-15-2017 at 03:11 PM. Reason: price link |

Re: Worth of a not spizzichino
Yes it sais:
The Bygone Sound Antique In black So it should be machine hammered. Could you give a rough estimate of the value?

Re: Worth of a not spizzichino
As I said I have no data on sales of these so I can't really say much. For Roberto Spizzichino's later work his cymbals now sell in the same price range as New or Intermediate old Ks (I gave a link to this in my earlier post). But these? Machine hammered ones? I don't know.
There is the historical interest collectable factor. Then there is the intrinsic value as a B20 cymbal. If we look to machine hammered Avedis Zildjian 22" cymbals as a guide to pricing we're talking $150-$250 in the USA. Avedis prices ref: http://black.net.nz/avedis/avedis-prices.html#22 Then there is how nice it sounds. That could easily double the price. Sorry I can't be of more help. |

Re: Worth of a not spizzichino
Since reading Pink's book back in the early 1990s, and visiting with Roberto a couple of times, I've always wanted to see one of those "Bygone Sound" cymbals, but never have. Great find!
Why wouldn't this be considered a Spizzichino? |

I've heard from the Spizzichino family that somebody is working on a book about Don Roberto and hopefully that will help with the history as well as the terminology. |

Re: Worth of a not spizzichino
Probably by wednesday I'll be trading it for one of my custom snares. Nice deal for both of us.
