Istanbul 22″ 61st Anniversary Vintage Ride

At the age of nine, Mehmet Tamdeger began working for Mikael Zilcan, the grandson of Kerope Zilcan. Mikael Zilcan and Kirkor Kucukyan taught Mr. Tamdeger every aspect of this ancient Turkish art, with a history that stems back to the early 17th century. After completing a very busy 60 plus years at cymbal making, Mr. Tamdeger is very proud that we are still making original, traditional Turkish cymbals for today’s modern music.
