[Drum Station staff personally visit ed a factory in Istanbul, Turkey to personally select and purchase these cymbals, which are now in stock!] 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. [Bosphorus Painite Series] Since its founding in 1996, Bosphorus has continued to produce artisan-made pieces using handmade methods that do not rely on machines. The Painite series is a further refinement of the technology that Bosphorus has cultivated through its previous lineup. This cymbal is made using a new manufacturing method in which the metal is aged by burying it in soil for three months after molding.It has a color similar to the mineral painite and is characterized by a unique, trashy, dry sound. -Comments from the purchasing staff- Of the several instruments we tried out, we purchased one that had a strong open sound with a rich overtone and a strong impurity character.
