Bosphorus ride cymbal with a vintage character
If you are looking for a ride cymbal with the spirit and approach of vintage cymbals from the last century, the Bosphorus Master Series Ride 20 inch stands in a class of its own. This Bosphorus ride cymbal is fully handmade, from the casting process through to the final hammer strike, with no machine work involved.
The alloy uses an antique formula passed down through generations of cymbal smiths. You notice that in the soft feel and played-in character the Master Series is known for.
Thin profile with visible movement
What makes this 20 inch ride especially distinctive is that the Master Series is much thinner than many heavier cymbals produced today. When you play on the edge of the bow, you can actually see the cymbal move back and forth, a characteristic strongly associated with Bosphorus.
Because of that construction, this ride cymbal feels supple in use and works in almost any musical situation. If you want personal advice on cymbals and their build, Magna Music can help you with staff who are musicians themselves.
