Nice old pair of Turkish style 13 3/4" orchestral, banda cymbals. This pair looks and sound like a pair o old Constantinople K. Zildjian cymbals but there is no identifying stamp. The absence of a stamp makes it impossible to be sure whoe the maker was. Like many vintage cymbals, there are signatures under both bells. This is very likely an Italian made, perhaps Bellotti, Turkish style pair of cymbals. Regardless, it's a good sounding pair that will be perfect as a pair of Banda cymbals. At 13 3/4" in diameter and 1095/1130 grams they are the perfect size and weight for playing with a bass drum hook-up. There are no issues of any kind with either of the cymbals. There is a small brass grommet in each of the center holes that protects the leather cymbal straps. This is a good opporunity to own a vintage pair of K. Zildjian style cymbals at a fraction of the price.
