The Quality Of Bosphorus Cymbals

By Angela Sullivan


It is true to say that Bosphorous currently dominate the cymbal industry. This company has its origins in the 90s. Based in Turkey to be precise in Istanbul, this company has grown from a small firm to an international one. The unique features that they produce are an attraction to many. This has even lead to Bosphorus cymbals being endorsed by Jeff Hamilton and Stanton Moore.

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.

To the few who have been lucky enough to set their touch on this merchandise, they seem to have the adventure to tell. They are fascinating to use not only on the music quality that includes the tone and p[itch but also in their overall cost. As compared to the native ones which were best for jazz, they can be used for different music kinds.

An additional uniqueness of these cymbals from Bosphorus is that they are cost effective if compared to other brands of this product. In Australia for example, the cost of one is almost half the price of other from different manufacturers. The reason behind this low cost is mainly due to their low cost of production where only manual work is applied.

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 newest brands of this merchandise from Bosphorus are a series comprising rides, hi-hats and crashes. They have received a huge demand from the drummers family in most parts of the world. An absorbing thing about them is that they are the first cymbals to be made of B20 bronze.

The B20 bronze type is one of its kinds when it comes to cymbal manufacturing. Over the years bronze has ever been used as the only material for making them. However, with Bosphorus adopting this type of bronze, they can easily shape them into their desired shape, spreading the weight evenly and eventually flattening the edges accurately.

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.
