This series recreates the sound of ancient cymbals. The utmost meticulousness in the crafting of each cymbal and its completely distinctive character make them masterpieces of Zildjian.

A hammered complex contributes to the unique sound identity of each cymbal and to the dark tones that can be both cutting and smooth. Made in small batches using a 14-step process, each K Constantinople has its own distinctive voice.
