Bosphorus Cymbals 18" 1600 Era Crash Cymbal

This 18" Bosphorus 1600 Era Crash delivers a dark, expressive crash sound with a smoky, vintage-inspired character. It opens quickly, speaks with warmth, and offers the dry complexity that makes the 1600 Era Series feel so distinctive.

At 1274g, this crash has a responsive feel with a quick attack, dark shimmer, and controlled decay. It is musical without being overly bright, making it easy to place within a wide range of playing settings. The sound has enough presence for accents and transitions, but it remains refined, textured, and naturally expressive.

The Bosphorus 1600 Era Series is especially well suited for players looking for a darker, more traditional cymbal voice with old-world character and nuance. This 18" crash works beautifully for jazz, acoustic music, soul, roots music, studio recording, and any setting where warmth, dryness, and musical personality matter more than sheer volume.

Condition
Brand new. Any natural visual variation is part of the handmade cymbal-making process.
