USED ZILDJIAN / Late '50s A Small Stamp 20-inch 2140g 6H Old A Zildjian Ride Cymbal [08]

A Zildjian with a small stamp
This is believed to be a late 1950s model with a stamp width of approximately 23 mm
This is an A Zildjian from the “Small Stamp” era.
Unlike current models, the hammering pattern and lapping differ; it features the characteristic brightness of an “A” cymbal combined with a deep, expansive sound and rich overtones. This makes it a highly sought-after vintage “A” cymbal in recent years, offering a unique sound that cannot be found in the current A series.

It features a slightly lighter weight and is notable for its delicate hammering pattern and razing.
It features six sizzle holes, and its refined sound suggests it would pair well with a sizzle ring.
While retaining the bright, lively characteristics unique to the A series, this cymbal has a calm and well-balanced sound that is characteristic of this era.

Overall, it’s in good condition with no visible damage—a fine example for a cymbal from this era.
It’s still in good enough condition to be used without any issues.
