This is a 20” Istanbul K Zildjian cymbal hand selected by Fred Hinger. It was purchased in 1974 from the personal collection of Fred Hinger. The following is an account of that occasion:
"While attending Manhattan School of Music and studying with Fred Hinger in 1973-74, I asked about cymbals and his eyes lit up, it was one of his favorite topics. He went to his back room and brought out a large heavy cymbal bag stuffed with his personal cymbals. He started pulling cymbals out and playing them for me. We commented about the sound of every cymbal as it came out of his bag. When this cymbal came out of the bag, he asked if I wanted to buy it, I could not pass up the opportunity to own this beautiful sounding cymbal."
This cymbal has an early Istanbul K stamp form the early 1950's. It is in perfect shape with no chips, edge damage, or keyholing. It's weight is 1802 grams putting it on the lighter side for a cymbal of this size. The cymbal has the sound coveted by jazz drummers but also works perfectly as a suspended cymbal in orchestral music when looking for a warm dark almost “ominous” sound. It also produces a very gripping sound at higher volumes.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a great sounding cymbals with a terrific pedigree.
