The Popularity Of Bosphorus Cymbals

By Angela Sullivan


Bosphorus cymbal company was started in the 90s as a small firm for the production of cymbals. By now, this company has taken the Bosphorus cymbals market by storm owing to the quality of their products. It has overtaken other leading cymbal producers especially due to the unique features that they produce. The endorsement by Jeff Hamilton and Stanton Moore is an indication.

Ibrahim Yakici, Hasan Seker, and Hasan Ozdemir are the founders of this company. These young men gained their experience after working for some time with the initial Zildjian company. There were disputes and divisions of the Zildjian company. This created a gap for these two individuals to exploit where they opted to start the Bosphorus company.

Most people who have used the different categories of the cymbals manufactured by this company have witnessed their high quality when it comes to music, the tone, the pitch and even their cost in general. Unlike the cymbals by the Zildjian company which were suitable only for jazz music, these ca be used for jazz, pop, punk and any other genre of music.

An additional uniqueness of these cymbals from Bosphorus is that they are cost effective if compared to other brands of this product. In Australia for example, the cost of one is almost half the price of other from different manufacturers. The reason behind this low cost is mainly due to their low cost of production where only manual work is applied.

The basic features of these merchandise are very similar to that of the Zildjian.In fact, if it is not for the logo on them one can easily mistake them to the K Zildjian or A Zildjian cymbals. This is totally understandable since Bosphorus views the Zildjian as their mother industry.

The newest brands of this merchandise from Bosphorus are a series comprising rides, hi-hats and crashes. They have received a huge demand from the drummers family in most parts of the world. An absorbing thing about them is that they are the first cymbals to be made of B20 bronze.

The B20 bronze type is one of its kinds when it comes to cymbal manufacturing. Over the years bronze has ever been used as the only material for making them. However, with Bosphorus adopting this type of bronze, they can easily shape them into their desired shape, spreading the weight evenly and eventually flattening the edges accurately.

They have a natural primitive appearance to ones eyes. However, for anyone who will be very keen on their presence they will note the captivating finishes done on them. The surface is covered by hammer marks from the edges all through to the centre. Additionally, there are concentric circles on their bows making it extra beautiful.

When it comes to this merchandise, the outer beauty is not enough to define their greatness. They have got very amazing sound output. The B20 bronze used to make them makes it easy for one to regulate the quality of sound they want. Ranging from the hammers to the rides, the sound quality cannot be compared to any other cymbal manufacturers.
