About this listing
Vintage Zildjian Avedis 14" Hi-Hat Pair - Likely New Beat Configuration - 856g / 1388g - Good ConditionThis is a vintage pair of 14" Avedis Zildjian hi-hats with a particularly interesting weight combination and a great classic sound.These were acquired as vintage New Beat Hi-Hats. All original model ink and logos have worn away, so I cannot independently verify that they originally left the factory together as a matched New Beat pair. However, both cymbals carry vintage Avedis Zildjian stamps, and the very light 856g top paired with the substantially heavier 1388g bottom is strongly consistent with the traditional New Beat design concept.Weights:Top: 856gBottom: 1388gCondition: Good / Structurally SoundNo cracksNo keyholingNo flea bites or dentsNo repairsHeavy patina and oxidation consistent with ageOriginal ink/model logos are completely worn awayVisible player wear throughoutVintage Avedis Zildjian stamps remain visibleStructurally intact and fully playableThese are used vintage cymbals with substantial cosmetic wear, so please review all photos carefully before purchasing.Sonic Splice NotesThe weights are what make this pair especially interesting.The 856g top is exceptionally light compared with the 1388g bottom, giving these hats a very responsive feel while still producing a strong, defined foot chick. Closed, they are articulate and musical. Opened up, the lightweight top gives them a looser, more expressive wash than many modern New Beats.Despite the cosmetic aging and complete loss of the original ink logos, this pair sounds fantastic and has a very versatile vintage voice.Because the model markings are gone, I am intentionally listing them as a vintage Avedis pair in a likely New Beat configuration rather than claiming definitive factory-matched provenance.Video Sound DemoA YouTube video demo of this exact hi-hat pair is included so you can hear the closed stick sound, foot chick, open wash, and overall character before purchasing.The video is also a useful reference for buyers because the sound and feel of vintage hi-hats can vary considerably from pair to pair.Comparable Current 14" New Beat New Price: $520Sonic Splice Price: $225Buyer SatisfactionI offer a 7-day return policy because I want buyers to be completely satisfied with their purchase.
