The Bosphorus Antique Series is a bold fusion of two iconic cymbal styles—combining the bright, shimmering qualities of the Traditional Series with the dry, earthy tones of the Turk Series. This unique hybrid design delivers a rich sonic palette, offering strong stick definition and complex, yet controlled overtones. The top surface features alternating bands of lathed and unlathed zones, adding both visual character and tonal contrast. The underside is fully lathed in traditional fashion, enhancing response and sustain. This thoughtful construction tempers the attack for a drier, more focused sound with an assertive ring, making the Antique Series an ideal choice for players seeking depth, articulation, and a wide range of textures in one expressive instrument. Hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey Marries the two lathing patterns of the Traditional Series and the Turk Series. Slightly heavier and higher pitched than the thin crash. Moderate sustain makes this cymbal a good choice for many different playing situations. Light ride possibilities exist if played delicately. Available in 14,15, 17 and 18-inch
