Zildjian Crash 16" K Constantinople
The “crown jewel” of the iconic cymbal shaker. Genuine works of art, handcrafted one by one in very limited quantities by the most renowned cymbal makers in the world.
- Each cymbal has its own character
- Amazing versatility
A recreation of the legendary Constantinople. Made in small batches and born from the collaboration between Zildjian’s Sound Lab and the legendary Elvin Jones. The utmost precision in crafting each cymbal and their completely distinctive character truly make them masterpieces of Zildjian. Dark, evocative sounds. The preferred choice of many of the world’s jazz stars.
A new hammering gives these crashes even darker tones, along with the look of the vintage K series.
A complex hammering contributes to the unique sonic 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.
The alloy
Known as the Zildjian Secret Alloy, this B20 alloy consists of 80% copper and 20% tin with traces of silver. This B20 alloy can be challenging to work with, requiring extensive reworking and annealing due to its naturally brittle state, but Zildjian has been using it for over 400 years.
This versatility makes K Constantinople cymbals a staple across all kinds of music, from jazz to rock.
