About This Listing
Great pair of 13” Istanbul Agop medium weight traditional hi hats. 736g Top/876g Bottom. Light wear and patina on top hat, some on bottom. Go for $450 new.
Operating in its current incarnation since 2004 after creating a headquarters in the United States, Istanbul Agop is one of the cymbal industry's leaders in crafting traditional Turksih cymbals. The company was founded by and named after Agop Tomurcuk, who spent decades in Turkey's sole cymbal foundry learning the craft before creating his own company.
The Traditional series features individual hand-hammering, differing weights for each cymbal and a secret alloy. This produces cymbals unique from one another, even two cymbals of the same size and model. This series is warm, responsive and dark.
The Medium Hi-Hat is marked by full articulation and a warm tonal character.
This price reflects the pair of hi-hats.
Years of production: ca. 1997-present
Notable players: Mel Lewis, Cindy Blackman, Dave Turncrantz
