I'm having an Istanbul pre-split 14" hihat which has quite bad scratches. They look like they've been made with an angle grinder probably to make cymbal thinner. Current weights match with weights marked in cymbals..
Are the scratches likely to effect the sound of cymbal? Hihat sounds great but I'm still wondering...
Yes it can change (and probably did) change the cymbals sound. Have you heard the cymbal? Does it sound good to you? if so get it,,,resale will be down alot on it thougfh. Just my opinion. good luck
If they sound great and you can get 'em on the cheap, pick them up. As Dardrum said, the resale will be low, so only grab them if they create a pleasing sound.
I've been playing these cymbals for a year now and they sound great to me.
I was just wondering If scratches have noticeable effect on sound. I paid maybe a bit too much (180 dollars) but in Finland cymbals are more expensive in general.

Glad you dig the sound,,,that is most important,,,I am sure it changed the sound,,,but have no point of reference. I will guess the sanding dried the sound a bit,,,but just a guess.
