Vintage 15" Zildjian Mixed Hi-Hats | Istanbul K Bottom 1410g | USA Avedis Top 1360g

For sale is a vintage mixed pair of 15" Zildjian hi-hats featuring a Turkish-made K. Zildjian Istanbul bottom cymbal (1410g) paired with a USA-made Avedis Zildjian top cymbal (1360g).

This is not a factory-matched pair but rather a well-balanced vintage combination. The slightly heavier Istanbul K bottom (1,410 grams) pairs exceptionally well with the USA Avedis top (1,360 grams), producing a warm, articulate sound with a crisp foot "chick," excellent stick definition, and classic vintage character. While not factory matched, this pairing is intentional and offers an excellent weight relationship, making it a highly musical set for jazz, blues, classic rock, Americana, and studio work.

Both cymbals retain their natural patina and have not been polished, preserving their vintage appearance. They show normal cosmetic wear consistent with age and use, including light stick marks and minor discoloration. Both cymbals have been carefully inspected and are free of cracks, edge damage, and keyholing. Center holes are round and free of cracks or elongation. They remain structurally sound and ready to be played.

The Istanbul K cymbal retains its classic K. Zildjian & Co. Istanbul trademark, while the Avedis cymbal retains its original factory markings. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.

Whether you're looking for a warm vintage jazz sound, classic rock articulation, or a unique mixed pair with decades of musical history, these hi-hats deliver exceptional versatility.
