The Zildjian 20" K Constantinople Medium Thin Low Ride highlights the most favorable traits of one of best-known cymbal lines in the world with features like an over-hammered bow crafted by hand, thinner weight through the bow for smokier response, and a reduced-size bell for more focus.

A bolder, more emphasized and defined fundamental stick sound with a little more articulation. Dry with a good degree of very pleasing overtones and "wash".

K Constantinople cymbals speak with the dark warm sound associated with Zildjian cymbals made in Turkey in the first half of the 20th Century. "Old K's" first resurfaced during the 1950s and 1960s in set-ups of bebop era vanguard drummers like Elvin Jones.

K Constantinoples are hand-lathed by skilled artisans using old-style cutting tools. Pits and other surface impurities, that modern finishing processes remove, are retained, preserving the original tonal quality.
