Bosphorus Master Vintage Series 21 Ride Cymbal

Crafted entirely by hand, the Master Vintage Series cymbals are instruments of exceptional quality, refined beauty, and rich tonal complexity. Each piece is a sonic work of art—producing a dark, dry fundamental tone with remarkable clarity and character.

These rare cymbals respond with precise articulation and an earthy, organic warmth. Their wash is deep and smoky, never overwhelming, with a restrained rumble of overtones that shimmer subtly with every accent or bell strike. The result is a nuanced, expressive voice that perfectly balances control and character—ideal for players seeking depth, dynamic range, and vintage soul.

• Handmade from Turkey 
• Produces a dark, warm, low-pitched cushion of tone. The ping is a mellow, woody, "slap" and the cymbal body has a soft, giving feel when played. A wash of smoky undertones support the stick definition even during up tempo passages
• A characteristically small, shallow bell along with a slightly curved profile recreates the historic sound commonly found in jazz, blues, and big-band music from the 30's to the 60's
• Available in sizes of 20",21" and 22-inch
