USED ZILDJIAN / Istanbul K Old Stamp 3c(1956-57) 14" HiHats 710/970g [08]

From the shape of the engraving (appears to be the so-called OLD STAMP 3c generation)
This is a pair of 14" Old K hi-hats, estimated to have been manufactured around 1956-57.

The later Old Stamp generation was the generation that settled down after the war and developed music centering on jazz, and these cymbals were made during that period and produced the sound of that time, which is a valuable period.
It can be said to be a period when the cymbals were much thinner and more acoustic than today's cymbals, while having more overall stability than those of the 40's.

This is a pair of standard 14" hi-hats.
The weights are also the best weighted pair.
The center hole in the top is 11mm and small.
Please note that the clutch cannot be installed depending on the HH stand.
* Use old HH clutch OR center hole extension is required.

No damage such as deformation or chipping can be felt, and the engagement seems very good.
The dark, delicate and smoky sound with rich overtones full of warmth is ideal for jazz music of the time.

The cymbals are very dull and have a slightly withered appearance, but there are no damages and they are in good condition for a vintage cymbal.

Size: 14 inches
Item rank: B+: Some scratches, but no problem in normal use.
