Simpson Modified Istanbul Mel Lewis 19" Crash Ride (1826g)

Here's a neat find, a 1990s Istanbul (which appears to predate the Agop/Mehmet split) reworked by cymbal smith Jesse Simpson.  I believe that his modification consisted of the old K-style wide pin lathing on the top and some additional hand hammering.

This came to us from a pro, so the condition is very good for a cymbal that's likely around 30 years old!  The center hole is round and the edge is smooth.  Expect stick marks, fingerprints, light scratches and stains, logo fade on the underside, and patina.

See and hear this cymbal in our Video Vault (TM) and buy with confidence!
