Also, Mehmet Tamdeger started working in the original old K Zildjian factory in Istanbul, Turkey when he was 9 years old. Then when the zildjian guys decided to move their factory sa USA, mehmet decided to stay sa Istanbul, Turkey at nagtayo siya ng sariling company kasama si Agop Tomurcuk. Hence "Istanbul Mehmet/Agop".
Kung mapapansin mo, mas lesser ang quantities na napproduce ng Istanbul Mehmet cymbals compared sa top 3 brands kase nga talagang nag stick sila sa traditional making ng cymbals. "Hand made/hand hammered". So talagang mas matagal ang paggawa ng cymbals dahil mano-mano. Unlike other brands, mas madaming nga napproduce pero nassacrifice naman ang quality ng cymbals.
Unti at mabagal man, pero mismo naman pag gumawa ang Istanbul Mehmet ng mga cymbals.

Kung wala kayo idea ng tunog, here's a clip of Rick Latham. All Istanbul Mehmet cymbals: Very traditional sounding.
