A beautiful, authentic factory-matched pair of K Zildjian-Istanbul 14" hi-hats weigh in at 855/875 grams. This is a late 50's old stamp cymbal with the spread out lettering "Made in Turkey" and an ink stamp on the underside. The original signature under the bell is in great shape on both cymbals. Both plates are relatively flat with small bells producing excellent definition and tone. The cymbals have not been cleaned so they have a wonderful patina and are in beautiful shape with no keyholing, cracks, or issues of any kind. Very warm, full sound that can't be matched with by any other type of cymbal. This is the perfect set of hi-hats to go with your Gretsch round badge set and makes a matching set with our Istanbul K.Zilldjian 16" medium-thin crash.
