The Beauty 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.

Most people who have used the different categories of the cymbals manufactured by this company have witnessed their high quality when it comes to music, the tone, the pitch and even their cost in general. Unlike the cymbals by the Zildjian company which were suitable only for jazz music, these ca be used for jazz, pop, punk and any other genre of 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.

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 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.

Though the use of bronze is the universally accepted raw material for the making of cymbals, the B20 type is very unusual for its ease of crafting and the quality of the music output. The talented makers of these products can easily work with the B20 bronze to make the weight even all over, shaped in the appropriate way and even the edges are well flattened.

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.

When it comes to this merchandise, the outer beauty is not enough to define their greatness. They have got very amazing sound output. The B20 bronze used to make them makes it easy for one to regulate the quality of sound they want. Ranging from the hammers to the rides, the sound quality cannot be compared to any other cymbal manufacturers.
