The three are the most experienced active cymbal makers in Turkey and are known as "masters." The three founders of Bosphorus were close childhood friends who became cymbal makers at a very young age, and they thoroughly trained in every step of the cymbal making process, mastering the techniques. Their masters were the masters who made the legendary cymbals of the 1960s and 1970s, and they learned the 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. Bosphorus Cymbal currently employs 16 cymbal craftsmen, eight of whom are in training. The three cymbal masters continue to work together in the workshop, handcrafting cymbals while helping their apprentices to create perfect cymbals based on their nearly 30 years of experience. <Traditional> This is the standard lineup from Bosphorus.
