PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION FOR CONDITION, SHIPPING, & OTHER INFORMATION.
Up for sale is this 1995 Vintage Zildjian A Custom 6” Splash Cymbal. (See Pics) the serial number on this one clearly dates it to 1995 from the first two letter of the serial number being IE. the batch number is 8306 and this was the 39th cymbal produced from that batch of cymbals. The serial number on this cymbal is IE 8306-039.
This cymbal is in excellent condition considering it’s almost 30 years old. 1995 is the second year of the new laser etched serial numbers for the Zildjian Cymbal Company.
It’s said that these cymbals get better sounding with age.
The weight of this cymbal is 110 grams on my digital scale. (See Pics)
These older cymbals don’t come up for sale too often. I was gonna clean it up but thought I’d leave the mojo on it and let the new owner clean it if they want to.
I’m not a drummer but rather a musician who plays mostly string instruments like the guitar. However I got a few cymbals with a vintage 50’s Ludwig drum set I bought years ago and have since sold the drum kit. I forgot I had this cymbal so I’m posting it so it can go to a good home and get the love and use it was made for.

INFO TAKEN FROM THE WEB ON THESE CYMBALS IS AS FOLLOWS :
Cast bronze cymbals for premium tone and projection
A Customs, like all Zildjian cast bronze cymbals, are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model. Castings are then put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range. Cast bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age. They also have greater projection, clarity, and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which comprises 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.
