Vintage 12\" ZILCO Constantinople (486\") HI-HAT TOP - zildjian off brand For Sale

You are offerding on aVintage 12\" ZILCO Constantinoplehi-hat top cymbal with a super light weight of486 grams. Zilcos were made by Zildjian as their secondary brand. As seen in photos, stamping says ZILCO and oddly Constantinople underneath (I have adjusted the contrast so you can see the very faintConstantinople marking). The lip of the bell curves upwards most likely due to hi-hat clutch wear over the last 80+ years. No cracking. Unfortunately, I do not have the bottom to this hi-hat cymbal to make it a pair as I bought years ago as is.

If you are drummer with a love of 1920\'s - 1950\'s percussion, then this is for you!

Please review the photos and video as the cymbal has typical wear from playing time over plenty of decades. HOWEVER, this cymbal is VERY clean for its age.

It\'s getting harder and harder to find cymbals like these as they get lost to time and wear, so this is the perfect time to add to your collection.

I\'ll be posting more cymbals in the coming weeks as I am doing some summer cleaning in the home studio and releasing these cymbal oddities back into the wild.

All items come as-is and no refunds. Happy offerding!
