A lovely pair of vintage 12-inch Avedis Zildjian hi-hats, dating to the 1970s.
These were purchased new by my grandfather during the 1970s and have remained in the family ever since. The 12-inch size is relatively uncommon, making these an interesting example of vintage American-made Zildjians.
Specifications:
- Diameter: 12 inches
- Weights: Approximately 570g and 640g
- Traditional Avedis Zildjian stamps
- Made in USA
- Vintage 1970s
Condition:
Both cymbals retain a beautiful, naturally aged patina, with surface marks and wear consistent with their age.
One cymbal has a few small hairline cracks radiating from the center mounting hole, with some localized deformation around the hole. The cracks are confined to the immediate mounting area, as shown in the close-up photographs. There are no edge cracks or other known structural issues, and I have played them quite a bit over the years.
The pair remains fully playable. Please review the photographs carefully, particularly the close-up of the center hole.
A nice opportunity to own an uncommon pair of vintage, family-owned Avedis Zildjian hi-hats.
