At Bosphorus, not much has changed since the 17th century. We still make cymbals in the time-honored traditional way -- completely by hand. No stamped sheets of metal. No computer guided machine hammers. From the wood burning ovens to the meticulous hand hammering, each step moves towards one goal: the creation of a unique musical instrument. The woody stick sound. The deep mysterious tone. The dark warm spread underneath. It's all there...call it the soul of the cymbal. Once you hear the difference, you won’t settle for anything less. Play one and believe!
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
Looking forward to playing more Traditional series cymbals.
I love my hi hats/Traditional 14" Bosphorous.
They project and sound very cool. I am liking the durability. They are outliving my other hi-hats by a far stretch... Thanks for a very great cymbal set; TRADITIONAL BOSHPOROUS *
