A really beautiful example of Zildjian cymbal making from the 1950s, still has it's Ride ink stamp, lovely dark patina, I don't think it's ever been cleaned. Classic thin lathing, especially around the edge for this period, evidence of different light hammering styles used. Bow shape towards the edge, good for crashing or opening the sound up. Overall great condition for the age, no keyhole or dings. It sits in a great weight range for a 20" at 2,000g with a lovely high pitch stick, slightly airy wash, not too complex, the bell is quite dark in contrast. I've played a lot of these as I collect and this is one of the best I've come across, priced sensibly. https://youtu.be/W0NNxmnFKJU?si=tM-rSC4ZiVhiARu9
