Just saw those a few days ago and almost bought them. But damn that guy is way too far from me.

Did you also pick up the 20" Stambul ?

Those are nice! Wish I could hear them in person, if I liked the sound I would buy them, they seem reasonably priced.

No, those Stambuls are pretty nasty sounding IMO, not sure what they are made of but they sound like Zyns

Yeah, they are hit or miss, but Stambul wasn't a beginner cymbal, it was Paiste's first pro cymbal line from the 30's into the early 60's, made from Nickle-Bronze NS12 and then later changed to B8. I've never heard one in person, but i think some would make a nice crash ride. The B8 versions probably sounded better.

I have a B8 Stambul65 ride and it's great.

I'm not surprisedYes Sir

Hey Rob, we should go to Prague and meet Gilnar and we could try out that Stambul cymbal Walking

LOL ! Yeah, that would be awesome, except for the fact that i'm currently

living in BROKE-ville, Quebec. LoLoLoLo:pLoLoLoLo.Yah, i know, bad joke;)

Heh, sorry to hijack the thread.

But yeah, come to Prague, by all means - I'd love to give you a tour. I work in the tourist industry, after all!
