USED ZILDJIAN / A 40-50s Transitional Stamp 24" 3470g Vintage A Zildjian [08]

A 24-inch cymbal from the so-called "Trans Stamp" period said to have been used in the 1940s and early 1950s.
In recent years, Zildjian has released limited editions of cymbals from the factory warehouse, and it can be said that the value of these cymbals has increased dramatically over the past few years.
Compared to the current A-Gilles, many hand-finished cymbals are employed, and while based on the bright and straightforward sound typical of A-Gilles, it also contains rich and warm overtones that are not present in the current type, leaving the nuances of the good old cymbals strong, and has gained recognition from a variety of drummers. It is a cymbal of the era.

This is a very rare large 24" diameter ride cymbal.
The TRIXON logo is engraved below the Giljan stamp, and it is presumed that this cymbal was supplied to TRIXON from Giljan at that time.
The weight is 3470g, which is about medium thin to medium weight.
However, it does not give the impression of being hard, and is characterized by the majestic resonance and expanse that is typical of a 24-inch instrument.
Of course, a stable ping sound can be heard well, and it has a solid sound with a core body.

Although it is a very old cymbal, there are no deformations or chipped edges, and it is well preserved.
There are some spots where the overall appearance is dull and some greenish-blue on the backside, but overall the condition is good enough to be considered a vintage cymbal.
This cymbal is indispensable to reproduce the sound of that time.
This cymbal gives you the joy of being able to experience the good old A sound in a realistic way even today.
