The blackened finish gives the cymbal a unique look and allows the many filigree hammer marks to stand out clearly. The hihat sound is very dark \u0026amp; dry and is especially suitable for music where a dark sound and a soft feeling is required.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf you trace the traditional Turkish art of cymbals back to its origins, you will finally find it in the Black Sea region in northeastern Anatolia, where Mehmet Tamdeğer's birthplace is located. In 1623, with the official permission of the Sultan, the production of cymbals began in a suburb of Constantinople called Psamatia, now known as Samatya.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBased on this history, in which the knowledge and craft of cymbal making was passed down from generation to generation, the young Mehmet Tamdeğer also learned every detail of this ancient Turkish art. His teacher was Mikael Zilcan, the grandson of Kerope Zilcan. In the 1950s Tamdeğer finally started to work in the K. Zilcan factory in Samatya. The Black Sea 1623 series of cymbals is Mr. Mehmet's homage to the legendary Turkish cymbal art, as well as a reminder of his personal roots.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Istanbul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40748215468111,"sku":"BS-HH14","price":489.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/2023-08-03_14_13_23-Window-removebg-preview.png?v=1691086466","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/truroot-bs-hh14-black-sea-1623-istanbul-mehmet-hihat-cymbal-14","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
