Zildjian 18" IIa Stamp...help!

Posts: 351 Threads: 22

Finally I identified what I've got in my storage.It's zildjian, IIa stamp, almost 18" (17 7/8") cymbal.

What makes it outstanding from other is weight: 1090g! I've seen some pieces 300-400g heavier but never such a light one.

Unfortunately there is a small crack on bell, (1/9"-1/8"), slight keyhole and two tiny dents on the edge.

Sounds wonderful but it's not my type, I'm not jazz player.

You can check the sound here: http://snd.sc/NfEZNu

Wish to sell it...What price should I call for that cymbal?

I thnk somewhere around $900 in my opinion. Bill Maley might also weigh in as he's a vintage cymbal pricing expert.

By the way, that unusually thin weight will probably bring that estimate a little higher. And that sound it has....is friggin' great.

It's hard to gauge the market these days because it been fluctuating quite a bit. But if it was me, I'd put it up on eBay with a $1300 "buy it now" with offers for less being accepted. Then I'd probably go for the best offer over $1000 that came in.

Sounds like you could fill in for Charlie Watts without a hitch!
