The Quality Of Bosphorus Cymbals

By Angela Sullivan


Bosphorus cymbal company was started in the 90s as a small firm for the production of cymbals. By now, this company has taken the Bosphorus cymbals market by storm owing to the quality of their products. It has overtaken other leading cymbal producers especially due to the unique features that they produce. The endorsement by Jeff Hamilton and Stanton Moore is an indication.

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.

Starting with their cost, they are relatively cheaper compared to other kinds of cymbal manufactured by other companies. Production of this cymbal is only done through hand work. No machining is involved. This, in the long run, lowers the cost of production. Their price, therefore, becomes lower. In Australia for example, they go for half the price of other brands.

The basic features of these merchandise are very similar to that of the Zildjian.In fact, if it is not for the logo on them one can easily mistake them to the K Zildjian or A Zildjian cymbals. This is totally understandable since Bosphorus views the Zildjian as their mother industry.

The market has given the latest oracles a positive feedback due to it apparent quality in their make up. These latest brands are unique and their output cannot be ignored. They include rides, hi-hats and crashes. One single thing that comes up with them is their raw material which is B20 bronze used for the first time.

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.

The finishes done on them makes them eye catching. They have their surface covered with patterns of images of a hammer from the edges to the centre. More so, these the bow has concentric circles all along it making it extra attractive.

The outer beauty of these cymbals is not enough to define their overall performance. The raw material used in their manufacturing makes anyone using them to be in total control of the quality of music they want to produce. All users of these brands will not be ready to go back to other brands that they have used before.
