Istanbul Agop

Istanbul Agop cymbals are primarily manufactured in their workshops in Istanbul, Turkey, where skilled artisans utilize traditional hand-hammering techniques passed down through generations.

The brand's dedication to hand-hammering, combined with the use of B20 bronze alloys and a focus on preserving traditional Turkish cymbal-making methods, results in a distinct sonic signature and a higher level of craftsmanship.

While appreciated by professionals, Istanbul Agop’s diverse range includes models suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking nuanced tonal qualities; beginners might find some models’ complexity challenging.
