USED Zildjian / Late 1950s A Small Stamp 18-inch 1672g Old A Zildjian [08]

This is believed to be a late 1950s model with an engraving width of approximately 23 mm
This is an A-series Zildjian from the "Small Stamp" era.

Unlike current models, the hammering pattern and lapping differ; this piece from that era possesses the characteristic brightness of an A series cymbal while also offering a deep, expansive sound with rich overtones. It delivers a unique sound that cannot be found in the current A series, making it a highly sought-after vintage A cymbal in recent years.

It has the weight of a crash ride, with a sufficiently thick cup that produces a pleasant ride sound and a powerful crash.
This 18-inch cymbal offers the perfect balance for use as a secondary ride.

It shows some age-appropriate dulling and slight patina, but there is no noticeable damage or warping, and the sound is excellent.
It is still in excellent condition for a vintage piece and can be used without any issues.

Size: 18 inches
