Master SeriesAll Master Series cymbals utilize a
proprietary alloy that gives the entire line a soft and distinctly playable
feel. The Master Series transcends genre specific music and offers a
dark warm mysterious sound that makes them the perfect choice
for everything from traditional Jazz to R&B.
Antique SeriesThe Antique Series marries the two lathing
patterns of the Traditional Series and the Turk Series. This Unique family combines the
brilliance of a classic, lathed cymbals and the complex dryness of a raw, unlathed
cymbals. Expect strong definition and ample but controlled overtones from the rides. The varied playing surfaces
provide a wide range of sonic textures.

Bosphorus Cymbals was established in 1996 by three master cymbal smiths, Hasan Seker, Ibrahim Yakici and Hasan Ozdemir. They are called Masters because they are the most experienced cymbal smiths in Turkey who are still working actively.
The founders of Bosphorus were three good friends who grew up in the same neighborhood. Their common thread was being sent to work in a neighborhood cymbal workshop. Their humble beginings included cleaning the workshop and other menial tasks, but in time they were trained in the art of making cymbals. In the early ages of their youth they became cymbal smiths. Their teachers were the masters who manufactured the legendary cymbals of 60’s and 70’s.
After 16 years at the same workshop the friends ventured off on their own and established their own company. Today they maintain good relationships with their former employers. The Masters continue to respect their teachers to this day.
Bosphorus Cymbals has 16 cymbal smiths, 8 of which have been in training since day one. The Masters continue to craft in the workshop with their workers, guiding them to create the perfect cymbals with their nearly 30 years of experience.

Latin SeriesDesigned for extreme versatility in any
musical setting. These cymbals embody the perfect fusion of South American
Folk Music and traditional Jazz.
Samba Series “If you play in a lot of acoustic settings (or even amplified music at lower to medium volumes), you’d be hard pressed to find a finer or more musical set of cymbals. For
many styles beyond just Samba, these cymbals have a complex, aged tone with
an expressive responsiveness that will make for an immensely satisfying playing experience.” –David E. Libman / DRUM!

Turk SeriesThe Turk Series offers a dark raw voice with a completely unlathed and hand hammered
finish. Exotic stick sound makes this cymbal a perfect addition to any traditional setup as an
effects cymbal or as a primary instrument for the player seeking a dark esoteric
sound. The Turk series provides the sophisticated player with an instrument that delivers heightened response and
intense aural nuance.
Gold SeriesHandmade cymbals with a modern
sound.These cymbals are bright, crisp and clean without sounding harsh
or brittle. The Gold series fuses the “old world” warmth of handmade
cymbals with the cutting-power, projection, and durability
desired by drummers playing in contemporary settings.
New Orleans SeriesThis series captures the pure raw sound of historic New Orleans. Hand hammered and
completed, top and bottom, with a continuous spiral from center to edge. This pronounced
wide lathing technique results in a cymbal that produces focused woody ride sounds
and quick, dry crashes. A must-have cymbal for the studio musician.
Groove SeriesThe Groove Series Cymbals capture a funky and
earthy quality. The tops are traditionally lathed with warm tonal grooves, while the bottoms
are lathed with the distinctive wider ridges associated with the Bosphorus New Orleans
series. The sound is raw and aggressive but always musical and extremely funky.
Traditional SeriesOur most diverse family of cymbals, the
Traditional series offers classic Turkish cymbals in a vast array of sizes to match any musical
situation. Their sounds range from dark and delicate to bright and penetrating.
Traditional, yet far from ordinary.
Master Vintage SeriesThe Master Vintage Series is the
embodiment of our philosophy and represents our absolute finest work.
A true hand forged instrument of uncompromising quality, beauty and aural nuance. These rare treasures
offer up a dark, dry fundamental tone, precise articulation, and an
organic earthy response.
