This 20" Istanbul Agop Om Crash Cymbal sounds incredible. I choose this cymbal weight out of 3 others of different weights. I originally purchased it from mycymbal.com
1739 grams
The cymbal has a super-dark and smoky wash, but it also has clear and glassy stick definition. It really is an instrument unto itself. You can crash it, and you can ride it with ease. The bell sounds fantastic as well. Dark and mysterious, with clear and precise high frequencies.
Cymbal has literally only been used for about an hour of light be-bop playing. Zero cracks or key holing. It is in amazing condition and has a lifetime of playing to go.
Cosmetically, The Cymbal has aged 4 years. So it has developed a patina on its surface. It has never been polished once, and there are very few stick marks. I never polish my darker jazzy sounding cymbals because I prefer the patina sound greatly, but you could easily polish this and get it looking brand new in about ten minutes.
i’m trying to be as clear as possible here. Internally, the cymbal is near mint, but it has been pre-aged.
Also on the bottom of the cymbal near the bell cup, there is a hairline scratch from placing and removing it from stands. (See photos for scratch)
