The Istanbul Agop Signature Series cymbals are the result of a project to create a range of cymbals according to the exact specifications detailed in a notebook belonging to master cymbalsmith Agop Tomurcuk. In his notes, Agop had complied a lifetime of cymbal-making secrets and ideas with the aspiration of creating this very series. Made according to these guidelines, Istanbul has fulfilled the last project of Tomurcuk's life and now offers you a piece of history; a range of cymbals that have resulted from a lifetime of dedication and passion for the highest standards in handmade quality.
The Agop Signature Series produces a sound that is extremely dark and trashy, with dry and complex elements. 100 percent handmade from cast B20 bronze in Turkey, these cymbals have a vintage 1960s hammering style and a traditional rustic dark brownish surface.
