is there a A Istanbul with trans stamp not sure my self it so new to me also

Are you going to buy old K Istanbul or old A Trans?

well i blew it sold still not sure he said Istanbul

I guess the $1,500 may be a old K Istanbul new stamp 23" Thin.

Good luck!

No, I don't think so. They never made a straight up 23" cymbal. What they marketed as a 24" measured in the range of 23-1/2" to 23-5/8". And $1500 would be a steal for one of those.

I'd sat the chances are better that it was a trans stamp, in which case the price would be too high in my opinion.

Yeah, I know it is not the exact 23".

Though the price depends on its condition and sound, $1500 for the new stamp & thin weight is a good deal, isn't it? If it were Trans, I'd skip it as well.

Yes too good a deal if it was a K., and too expensive if an trans stamp. It is possible that it was a K. and it wasn't measure precisely, but still I would expect the size to be reported as at least 23-1/2".

And in the case of its being a trans stamp, it was a rip-off price anyway. So no big loss there either.

thanks guys i just want 1 of those old thin 23/24 k's what should i look for Istanbul or Constantinople what would you suggest ty again and what year

It would have to be an Istanbul because all 24" K's are Istanbuls. They not did they make anything larger than 20" for drum set use in the Constantinople era, and even these are ultra rare.

The 24s are in the price range of $2200 to $3300 when you can find them, which isn't very often.

is there a 24 Constantinople or is it a repop
