I've an Istanbul Mehmet pair of hats I got off E-bay.

IMO all Istanbul Mehmets (and Istanbul Agops and Bosphorus) are like HH or HHX, or K/K custom for that matter, in the sense that they're "hand-hammered" (in the case of K/K custom, random machine hammered).

What I have is a pair of 14" Mehmet Traditional Regular Hats... "traditional" is supposed to be like their Zildjian A (as in "basic"). To my ears, they sound something like K custom, but a bit different.

There are no dealers here. Altho I think there are in Malaysia and Singapore. And you can probably order from them directly (check their website for details). Of course, there's E-bay.

Price range... check out www.cymbalsonly.com. Per mahal dun. The prices are about 30% less if you buy directly from the manufacturer or even less if you get one through E-bay.

Miggleness:
ganda sobra ng mga yan... talgang hand hammered sila unlike sa big 3 na mostly machine na.  Sa nababasa ko ha, mga tao na talaga ang nagto-tono ng mga cymbals na yan.

ung plan ko kc is to have a set of cymbals.
Ppol say na ok naman daw kung higher end ang kunin, kc my resale value.

but for me, ang naisip ko, bumili ng used nasa upper end para mas mura, almost half, even less than half p nga para dun s nkuha ko n HH crash. Tpos kung ibebenta ko, pwed ko pa rin sya ibenta vey close dun sa value na pagkakabili ko or even higher...

analogy ko lng un... di ko alam kung ok un sa iba...

ang mahira lng un Istanbul.. it seems na lahat ng bumili nun ayaw yata ibenta.... so mukhang maganda nga... wl kc masyadong mkita na used...

prefer ko sana na same line ang set ko, sabian sana kc nasimulan ko na... kaya lang, I noticed nga tong istanbul... mukhang maganda...

so for now, i want to know its price range... wl kc sya s massmusic.. wl tuloy akong basis...
thanks s advice/...

bangbus:
correct me if i'm wrong:

istanbul mehmet and istanbul agop are 2 different companies...used to be one but now separate.
