So the 1930 Cat. has a pricelist for K Zildjian&Co., Konstantinople,....Is that just the way they spell it in German ?These are the only known Sonor Catalogue from the thirties in exsistance, so they must be set straight !!
The German in the Sonor catalogue page says:
REAL TURKISH CYMBALS (K Zildjian & co. Stambul)
Well-known, high quality, Importgoods, medium weight
"Stambul" and "Konstantinopel" were German names for Istanbul/Constantinople back in the days when the catalugue was printed.
That catalogue page is actually pretty funny to read... If i get the time i can translate some more if anyone cares....
