Paiste 505 Black Label Ride 20"
Cymbal in very good condition, slightly dirty from normal use. No cracks and no keyhole — structurally clean and fully playable.
The 505 Black Label Ride 20" is a fully professional cymbal crafted from Paiste’s proprietary CuSn8 (2002 bronze) alloy. The 505 series, produced between 1978 and 1993 in Switzerland and Germany, is considered a worthy successor to the professional Stambul line and was manufactured using techniques closely related to the legendary 2002 series.
This particular example dates from 1980 and features the sought-after Black Label stamp. A rare and desirable model on the secondary market, highly appreciated by vintage Paiste enthusiasts.
