The Quality Of Bosphorus Cymbals

By Angela Sullivan


I am confident that most individuals will agree with me that Bosphorus is the in thing currently as far as cymbals are concerned. Being a firm which had its humble beginning in Istanbul, Turkey. Bosphorus cymbals has grown tremendously into an international company with its products sold overseas. Jeff Hamilton and Stanton Moore have even agreed to endorse their quality products.

The starters of this company were Ibrahim Yakici, Hasan Seker, and Hasan Ozdemir, who used to work for the Zildjian's, a very prominent company in Turkey for their cymbal production. Though the Zildjian had a legacy, they had started getting into leadership conflicts in the company leading to a division. These three individuals took this as their opportunity.

Using them is a thrilling experience that one will never cease to remember. They usually are very nice to use. They have an impressive music quality that they give especially the pitch and the tone. They can be relied upon for different music genres, not like the traditional ones which were mostly for jazz music.

The popularity of these products continues to grow when their market price are compared to those of cymbals from other producers. Products from Bosphorus are very affordable where some of them go for half the price demanded by other manufacturers. The cost of producing them is lowered since no machinery is used. Only manual labour is utilised.

By eyes, one can easily confuse them from hose produced by the Zildjian Company. This similarity should never be a surprise to one, in fact, it is something that one should expect. The reason behind this similarity is that the Zildjian are the roots of Bosphorus. The logo is only what makes the difference.

The latest series is comprised of three types which are very trendy. They include the rides, crashes and hi-hats. They have grasped the market by storm by their unique makeup. They are made of B20 bronze as their raw material which is considerably amazing compared to other products in the market.

Though bronze has been the only utilized material for the making of cymbals over the years, the B20 bronze type has very particular features. It is very easy to work with. The experienced craftsmen from Bosphorus can easily work with this kind of bronze and be able to spread the weight evenly and develop the best shapes.The edges can also be flattened well with high precision.

They have a natural primitive appearance to ones eyes. However, for anyone who will be very keen on their presence they will note the captivating finishes done on them. The surface is covered by hammer marks from the edges all through to the centre. Additionally, there are concentric circles on their bows making it extra beautiful.

Being musical instruments, their quality cannot be approved if their music output is not approved. The B20 bronze used for their making of makes one have total control of the music quality. One cannot resist the quality of the music that is given by these cymbals as compared to the using of other brands.
