[A used K Constantinople Medium Ride 22-inch shawl has arrived! This is a 1999 model, shortly after the series was introduced.] [Lookin Back Moving Forward ~Exploring Old Sounds~] ~K.Constantinople~ The pinnacle of Zildjian. The classic K sound is revived, with unparalleled expressiveness. The deep resonance produced by wild group lathing and random and extra hammering is proof of the high artistry of Zildjian Secret Alloy. The intricate hammering process creates the cymbal's unique tone, a deep sound that combines sharpness and smoothness. Produced in small quantities through a 14-step hammering process, K.Constantinople boasts perfect tonal harmony. This ride cymbal can be considered a standard model that has been around since K. Constantinople's introduction in 1998. Deep hammering creates a dry yet moderately balanced tone with just the right amount of overtones and a deep bass rumble. The medium weight ensures that even the most delicate stick sounds are reproduced with clarity. This particular piece was manufactured in 1999, shortly after the series was released. It features specifications typical of that era, such as countless deep hammer marks around the cup and even hammer marks on the edges. It appears to have been well-used, and the brilliant overtones seem to have mellowed slightly. It produces a dark tone, and along with legato tones, it yields harmonics in the mid-to-low range, resulting in a hazy, smoky sound. Rather than a modern sound with a well-balanced blend of harmonics and ping tones, this album offers a rich, natural sound with plenty of nuanced harmonics, creating a spatial atmosphere that's distinctly different from current releases. The cup sound is medium-pitched and has an open resonance. The crash sound is decidedly dark, creating a majestic atmosphere. Size: 22 inches Year of manufacture: 1999 *Please note that this is a used item and may have scratches, stains, rust, and other signs of wear. *The edges are wavy due to hammering, but this is due to the specifications at the time and does not indicate a defect.
