Constantine

Master cymbalsmith Sertan Oztopuz crafts each of these instruments by hand in Istanbul, Turkey. Sertan spent 32 years at Istanbul (Both Agop and Mehmet after the split) where he was trained and eventually taught the use of the coveted Turkish B20 alloy. From there he started what would soon become the leading Turkish cymbal company.

Material

Weight

Karaman

The Karaman Ride is a special creation based on favorite elements of the various Constantine series.  The Karaman gives you two playing surfaces; heavily hammered surface; a thick bell on all sizes and weights;  and the edges are fine lathed and polished.  The result is a concentrated sound with rich texture and a hint of trash in the wash.
