Our users rate Reverb
Up for sale is a beautiful and quite rare vintage pair of Paiste 505 13" Medium Hi-Hat cymbals from the early 1980s (classic Black Label era). ✔️
This particular set was Made in Germany using Paiste's famous CuSn8 bronze (the exact same legendary B8 alloy found in the flagship 2002 series). ✔️
The 13" size provides an incredibly fast, crisp, and articulate stick response paired with a tight, bright, and clean "chick" sound when closed. They cut beautifully through a mix without being overbearing, making them highly versatile for studio work, pop, funk, jazz, or rock. ✔️
Weights (Standard Factory Spec for 13" Medium): - Top: approx. 580g - Bottom: approx. 796g ✔️
Year manufacturing: 1980 ( serial numbers) ✔️
Condition: The cymbals are in good vintage condition. No cracks, keyholing have top cymbal, and no flea bites. The edges are completely smooth. The original black logos, model stamps, and "Made in Germany" engravings are fully intact, sharp, and highly visible. There is some light natural patina and minor surface marks from age, which only enhance their authentic vintage character. ( Pictured) ✔️
