20” Paiste (1960s) “Stambul 65” Ride 2090gr
Paiste launched the Stambul 65 line in 1965 and run this line until approximately 1974. The cymbal has the same bronze alloy as they used for the 2002 series (CuSn8), so basically they stopped with this series by the time they started selling the famous 2002 series. These cymbals were never sold in the U.S. and still are really under valued cymbals, as they are overshadowed by their successors, but are seriously good cymbals! They have that typical lower weight B8 Paiste sound that we all love, a proper bell sound and a good crash! What else to wish for?!
This particular cymbal has a weight of 2090 grams and is overall in good condition. Some rough spots around the edge and a keyhole. There’s some gaffer tape residue on the top of the bell, but since I rather not clean any vintage cymbals, I let it be as is.
