Vintage 1956 Ultra Rare Zildjian 15 Extra Thin Hi Hat Cymbals SUPERB SOUND/COND

  

Here's a superb sounding pair of Avedis Zildjian 15 inch hi hats, acquired from the estate of a jazz drummer in Philadelphia. It does not appear that they have ever been cleaned. They are quite rare in that Zildjian produced very few 15 inch hi hats in these thin weights (866g and 904g). Observe the beautiful hand lathing. This pair is over 60 years old and in remarkably fine structural condition, no cracks or chips.

They have the recording quality sound heard on 1950s jazz albums from Verve, Riverside, Prestige, and Blue Note. The chick is solid and crisp and when played semi-open these hats have a gorgeous dark sizzle. A true piece of Zildjian history! These hats sound every bit as rich as the legendary 50's K Zildjian Istanbul hats. The winner will be very happy.
