Bosphorus Master Vintage 16" Crash

The Master Vintage is a true reflection of Bosphorus' beliefs and the pinnacle of their craftsmanship. These expertly crafted cymbals feature the unique natural colors of the wood-fired oven. With a delicate, hand-hammered bell and profile, they offer a smooth, well-worn sensation. Whether performing live or recording in the jazz, blues, or big band genre, these cymbals provide the desired sound and ambiance. Master Vintage Crash Boasts a trashy initial attack and a rapid decay. Bolster a complex fundamental note that works well with Master Vintage rides. Reviews "Dark, complex tones. Fine hand-hammered build. Excellent playability. The crash has a trashy initial attack, and decays quickly, with a complex fundamental note that works well with the ride. It doesn't sing the way a bright finish, heavily-lathed crash would, but it serves to punctuate and accent music very well without overstaying its welcome. Its dark and trashy nature would work well in an electronic music setting as well as a more traditional acoustic setting." - Jake Stacey "A true hand forged instrument of uncompromising quality beauty and aural nuance. These rare treasures offer up a dark, dry fundamental tone, precise articulation, and an organic earthy response." - Dennis "All Bosphorus cymbals are excellent, but Master Vintage cater to my preferred taste in tones the most. The main tonal quality you’ll find in these cymbals is dryness. They have less sustain than the other Bosphorus cymbals, meaning they get out the way incredibly quickly when you play them. They also have amazing stick definition." - Brett Clur Warranty Bosphorus has TWO years warranty against manufacturing flaws, starting from date of the purchase.
