The alloy
The cymbals Istanbul Agop are made in Turkey with the famous B20 alloy, meticulously following all the steps that have been used for centuries to create the best cymbals in the world. This B20 alloy is composed of 80% copper and 20% tin, an alloy that can be difficult to work with as it requires extensive reworking and annealing due to its natural state, which is very fragile.
