• Company Name : Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals
  • About Us : At the age of nine Mehmet Tamde&Auml;Ÿer started to work for Mikhail Zilcan, grandson of Kerope Zilcan. Mikhail Zilcan and Kirkor K&Atilde;&frac14;&Atilde;&sect;&Atilde;&frac14;kyan taught him every aspect of this ancient Turkish art, based on a history that stems back to the early 17th century. The Istanbul brand name was adopted by a cymbal works established by two cymbalsmiths, Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. At that time, they had over three decades of cymbal making experience. Mehmet and Agop named their company after the city that has been home to the epitome of high quality cymbals for many, many years: Istanbul. These cymbals Istanbul Mehmet Cymbalsre first exported to the U.S. in 1984, first under the name "Zildjiler", and soon afterwards as "Istanbul". Both craftsmen signed each cymbal and many of these cymbals are now collectors&#039; items. After Agop Tomurcuk&#039;s unexpected death in July 1996, Mehmet decided to continue the production of cymbals under his own name, &Auml;&deg;stanbul Mehmet. A lot has changed since then, but his belief in the richness and the character of a handmade cymbal will always remain. Machines don&#039;t have ears. That&#039;s why we continue to make our cymbals according to the ancient tradition - with an open eye towards the music that&#039;s being made now, and in the future.</p>
