[2024 Turkey Factory Tour Selected Items] Drum Station staff traveled to Istanbul, Turkey to personally select and purchase cymbals. We have selected our staff's top picks from amo ng the many cymbals available, so please give them a try. Bosphorus Cymbals was founded in 1996 by three cymbal makers: Hasan Seker, Ibrahim Yakici, and Hasan Ozdemir. The three are the most experienced active cymbal makers in Türkiye and are known as "masters." The three craftsmen who founded Bosphorus were close childhood friends who became cymbal makers at a very young age, and they carefully trained in every process of cymbal making, acquiring the skills. Their teachers were the masters who made legendary cymbals in the 1960s and 1970s, and they learned traditional manufacturing methods. After working at the workshop for 16 years, the three men founded their own company, but they still maintain good relationships with their former employees and continue to make cymbals to this day, with respect for their mentors from whom they learned cymbal making. The three cymbal masters continue to work together in the workshop, helping their apprentices to create perfect cymbals with their nearly 30 years of experience. In today's society where machine manufacturing has become the norm, we hope you will enjoy our exquisite handcrafted products, which are still made using traditional methods and are of the highest quality and are made by skilled artisans. The Turk series cymbals are hand-hammered, without any razing process, resulting in a unique sound that is full of the texture of the material. Their exotic tone, rich with uncontrolled overtones and harshness, is popular with players seeking a dark, deep sound. The dark, mysterious sound with clear grain, combined with the unique visuals, allows you to enjoy creating sounds that are full of originality. [Comments from the selection staff] We discovered a bell cymbal in the factory that is not included in the regular Turk series lineup! Because it is lightweight for a bell, it produces a wonderful sound that is very open and rich in dark overtones.
