Vintage Zildjian old K Istanbul K 22" 2,914g.

Rare 22" size Zildjian OLD K (Istanbul K) cymbal, one of the rarest cymbals in the world, is now in stock.

The OLD K is longed for by Jazz drummers.

In recent years, the number of OLD K cymbals has been decreasing remarkably, and the price has been soaring year by year due to its rarity.

Many manufacturers and builders have attempted to produce and reproduce the sound of this cymbal, but the real thing is still a cymbal of a different caliber.

The complex overtones and soft touch of these cymbals are clearly different from current products, and it is no wonder that the great Jazz legends have used these cymbals for their famous albums and songs.

Each cymbal is unique, and each drummer has his or her own taste, so it is fun to find the cymbal that suits you best.

This one is a New Stamp period model made between 1972 to 1977.

The weight is a little heavy at 2914g, but the cup, bow, and edge are well balanced, and the complex overtones intertwine with each other, giving it a truly OLD K feel.

The touch does not feel too hard, and the sound that envelops the drummer when legato with a maple stick is a must.

This is a piece you want to use as your main ride, and above all, it is in very good condition!

There is no deformation of the center hole and no noticeable chipping of the edges.

The color and gloss of the cymbal's surface that shows its age alone makes it an attractive cymbal that can be looked at for a long time.
