These rare, authentic, pair of Constantinople K Zildjian cymbals, sized 13 1/4" & 13 3/4", are a non "factory" matched pair of medium weight cymbals weighing 1108/1208 grams respectively. Relatively small bells and flat plates make these cymbals very easy to play especially in the soft dynamic ranges. Typical dark, old K sound is much sought after and prized for decades by symphonic players. The K Zildjian stamps are mostly worn off. Signatures are visible under the bell of each plate. There are no issues of any kind with either of the cymbals. Both plates are in excellent condition. Even through the two cymbals in the pair are slightly different sizes they match nicely in sound and shape, and sound rich and full. Pairs of old K's are exceedingly hard to find making this is a rare opportunity.
