SOLD via eBay 8 July at my listing price of $799.

This 22” Paiste Dark Ride is s/n 634056. That dates it to 1976 according to https://www.cymbal.wiki/wiki/Paiste_Serial_Numbers and is the year I bought it new.

In the 1970s Paiste created the Sound Creation series and that emblem is clearly stamped on the cymbal rather than inked which started (I think) in the 80s. A recent eBay sale for an 80s version, went for $750 + shipping, item number 144030617527.

I haven't listed this on eBay just yet. Thought I might see what interest there is here prior to doing so.

Condition: Very good with normal age patina. No evidence of key holing on the top of the bell however there is a small area on underside of bell (see pics).
