Details: Masterwork Cymbals smiths are the artists who use that ancient technics to produce the best cymbals. B20-B25 alloy, the combination of the copper and tin, the secret formula is being used for many years for the great musical sound by the musicians all over the world. This alloy is a matter of passion, desire and sadness that the cymbals smith takes out deep his heart and soul. Cymbals were unknown in Europe until the Turk raids first brought them there. The story began in Istanbul in the 15th century with Zildjian family. They were used predominantly in military music. The firsts written European music requiring cymbals dates back to the late 17th century. After that it took another 200 years until they were introduced in modern music from jazz to rock in drums. Nowadays there are several factories in Turkey produce unique Cymbals on traditional methods gifted from father to son.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Communication was excellent, every request was handled with care, and they genuinely went above and beyond throughout the entire order. Shipping was quick, and the cymbals arrived beautifully packed and in perfect condition. They look and sound amazing, and the thoughtful extra surprise made it even more special. Exceptional product and exceptional service. Thank you, Istanbul Mehmet!

Best Splashes ever
I already own the AllaTurca 8" Trio Hat Stack and I absolutely love it. My two dual-sensitivity splashes are very impressive—they’re beautifully crafted—but what really blows me away is the sound—they respond to the slightest touch. I’d also like to praise the professional service from Sounds Anatolian—highly recommended!

Fantastic cymbal.
Great for smaller or lower dynamic set ups, including hand percussion and acoustic music. Great sound and very unique.
It's good ride. the ping is present, but not too dry. The bell also. I often play jazz with, but the ride can offer all range from calypso to samba, ... I have to play it more to be able to explore all irs capabilities ... Thanks
Lovely cymbal. I have not really used the rivets. The cymbal itself has the distinctive Bosphorus complex wash as well as great stick definition. It is pretty loud compared to the Masters or Black Pearl series. Nice bell.
