Turkish Cymbals Studio Hi-Hat Cymbals. Hand Cast, Hand Hammered, Hand Lathed
The Studio range of Turkish cymbals are very interesting visually as well as sonically. The outer 2" circle of the top is unlathed, deeply hammered and left raw. This hammering process allows the sound to open more slowly when struck, producing a more defined note with controlled sustain. The remainder of the top is lathed and polished to a brilliant finish.
The bell is raw with no visible hammer marks. The bottom of the Studio cymbals are lathed and brilliant throughout.
