Light Smoky Complex ISTANBUL Mehmet Nostalgia 50s 22”

ENDED

A harder to find series but worth the search when you do:
Istanbul Mehmet 50s NOSTALGIA 22” Ride. And this one is the most complex ones I have heard. It’s an earlier version and has a glorious smokiness tone it. It’s aged and mellowed.
Makes a Zildjian K Ride feel like a Rock Ride.
This beauty has all the golden glowing warmth of the famous Nostalgia Series but being the 50s version the bell is larger and rounded over giving it a hint more complexity than the standard nostalgia.
And this one has a particular light liveliness to it! It falls right into line with the Hand Hammered 1950s Vintage Zildjians - like the Block Stamp logo. And this 22” has that heritage. Golden glowing Hand Hammered tone but with the larger bell found on the 22s” from that era Zildjian.
2316 grams. Terrific stick attack on top with a golden wash that remains mellow and controlled but has a pinch of complexity.
Extremely crashable. Very warm. The great solid and large 6” bell for such a mellow cymbal.
Perfect for any music - very quiet to loud settings - when you crash on the edge this 22” really opens up and can handle itself in louder gigs. Great for jazz but not at all limited to jazz.
Amazing shape with a beautiful light patina just starting to grace it.
One of the nicest, light, smoky mellowed 22s” you will hear, guaranteed, and it is hard to find.
