New, 2023 NAMM show purchase that weighs 2030g and has a glorious Jack DeJohnette sort of sound. Dark and dry with an awesome bell and great crashability.
Like any handmade cymbal, this is a one-of-a-kind instrument. However, considering Bosphorus only produced a handful of these prototypes, and that this is likely the lightest and best sounding 20" example, those distinctions make this cymbal all the more unique and desirable. Here's proof of what this is:

As mentioned in the video, this series was triple-hammered while the regular Turk series are double-hammered. This series would later become their Cappadocia series, but as you can see it doesn't have the series name on it. Very cool piece.
$350 firm, cash or PayPal only. I'll entertain a trade or partial trade for cymbals or snares.
