Yesterday, I came across 20" Zildjian K Istanbul
I now almost nothing about stamps of those cymbals
Can you , please help about year of production and value
I don't know weight, you can see it has key hole
Thank you
This one has the intermediate stamp, was made between 1959 and 1966. The value depends very much on the weight..
Thank you, I will try to find weight
It is somewhere around 1930 grams in weight
Under 2000 grams for a 20 is very nice!
That keyhole is pretty extreme but as long as it's not spider cracking it should be fine as is...
My pricing research is here: http://black.net.nz/old-k/old-k-prices.html#20
Prices in Europe are likely to be a bit different from USA prices. I do not yet have enough data from K Zildjian Istanbul cymbals to calibrate the difference. I am generalizing from other price tracking research. And I haven't yet gone back and done a fresh analysis which includes weight for 20" cymbals in the predictive modelling. Again based on other diameters (18" where I have more data on K Zildjian Istanbul cymbals) and other sorts of cymbals (old As and 602s), there is a price advantage to lighter cymbals once you get to 18" and larger.
Thank you Zenstat, and take to you all guys
So, considering key hole on bell, 200$ (sellers price) is good?
200 would be a major steal.
Assuming you mean US$, 800-1000 would be more typical.
Get it, man!
I thought maybe you just came across it in the street :) ...but $200 is kinda the same thing. Hope you get it and it sounds as good as it looks!
