Gong ?

Posts: 6524 Threads: 37

Would this gong be an A or K sold in Germany by SONOR in the 70`s 80`s ?

It says gongs because they had different sizes. It says Zildjian but they don`t show the stamp like the other Zildjian cymbals they sold too.

So I don`t know if it`s an A or K. Do you ?

To the best of my knowledge, that is the American Zildjian logo, not the Turkish. Also, K Zildjian Istanbul ceased production in the 1970s.

K. Zildjian didn't make any gongs.

Thank you guys. I didn`t know there were two different logo or that K never made them. I`m eyeing one in a store for $250 slightly used. It`s hanging up high and looks thick.

... I didn`t know there were two different logo ...

AFAIK, K Istanbul Zildjians were never ink stamped like that. I've only seen them with "proper" metal stamps, and a sticker. They used to sign them inside the bells, too.
