Identifying a vintage cymbal

Posts: 3 Threads: 2

Hi,

I inherited an old 13" cymbal some years ago, and I have included it in my percussion setup. It is very thin, and it sounds beautiful when played by hand or with mallets. I'd like to know more about it.

The stamp is partially worn away, but what remains identifies the cymbal as a Zildjian made in Constantinople. A photo of the cymbal and a closeup of the stamp are in this Picasa album.

I would appreciate knowing anything more about this instrument. Thanks very much!

As a new member of this forum, I'm happy to be here! I hope you all are well.

That's a late 1930's Constantinople K.
