I am confident that most individuals will agree with me that Bosphorus is the in thing currently as far as cymbals are concerned. Being a firm which had its humble beginning in Istanbul, Turkey.
Bosphorus cymbals has grown tremendously into an international company with its products sold overseas. Jeff Hamilton and Stanton Moore have even agreed to endorse their quality products.
Ibrahim Yakici, Hasan Seker, and Hasan Ozdemir are the founders of this company. These young men gained their experience after working for some time with the initial Zildjian company. There were disputes and divisions of the Zildjian company. This created a gap for these two individuals to exploit where they opted to start the Bosphorus company.
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.
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.
Locating them in the market should never be done in any rush. They have a huge resemblance with the Zildjian cymbals. The similarity is attributed to the fact that the Bosphorus company has its roots from the Zildjian. The logo will be very helpful in differentiating.
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.
They have a natural primitive appearance to ones eyes. However, for anyone who will be very keen on their presence they will note the captivating finishes done on them. The surface is covered by hammer marks from the edges all through to the centre. Additionally, there are concentric circles on their bows making it extra beautiful.
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.
