USED Zildjian / Istanbul K Old Stamp IIIc (1956-57) 18” Ride with Sizzle 1390g Old K Zildjian [08]

A vintage K-Jilljan from the 1950s

Based on the stamp, this is an Old Stamp Type 3C K-Zillian 18-inch model, believed to have been manufactured in 1956-57
Features six sizzle holes, two of which have sizzle rings installed.

Characterized by an exquisite sound that blends the dark, deep, and mellow overtones typical of the 1950s with a metallic, seductive attack.
This is a masterpiece with a character unique to this generation, allowing you to savor the lustrous, classic sound that only an old cymbal—not overly polished—can offer.

Weighing 1390g and slightly on the thinner side, it produces a pleasant, full-bodied overtone from the sizzle, with a moderately aged tone that offers excellent control. It maintains stability in legato playing while also delivering an outstanding crash sound.
This is the perfect choice for a secondary crash ride.

It shows some age-appropriate patina and has very slight edge scratches, but there are no major overall deformations or keyholes, and it is in very good condition for this generation.
The center hole is on the smaller side, measuring just under 11mm.

Size: 18 inches

Condition: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use
