In the 1950s, he worked in the K. Zilcan factory in Istanbul. At the age of nine Mehmet Tamdeğer started to work for Mikhail Zilcan. Mikhail Zilcan and Kirkor Küçükyan taught him every aspect of this ancient Turkish art, based on a history that stems back to the early 17th century. The Istanbul brand name was adopted by a cymbal works established by two cymbal smiths, Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. At that time, they had over three decades of cymbal making experience. Mehmet and Agop named their company after the city that has been home to the epitome of high quality cymbals for many, many years: Istanbul. These cymbals were first exported to the U.S. in 1984, first under the name "Zildjiler", and soon afterwards as "Istanbul". Both craftsmen signed each cymbal and many of these cymbals are now collectors' items. After Agop Tomurcuk' s unexpected death in July 1996, Mehmet decided to continue the production of cymbals under his own name, İstanbul Mehmet. A lot has changed since then, but his belief in the richness and the character of a handmade cymbal will always remain. Machines don't have ears. That's why we continue to make our cymbals according to the ancient tradition - with an open eye towards the music that's being made now, and in the future. ## Features - Hand crafted in Istanbul, Turkey - Fast Response, Fast Decay, High Pitch, Splashy - Fully Lathed - Suited for pretty much every style of music - Available in 14", 15", 16", 17", 18", 19", 20" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Included components | Cymbal | | Manufacturer | Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08680782070396 | | Product Dimensions | 48.26 x 48.26 x 2.54 cm; 1.42 kg | | Item model number | CPT19 | | Material Type | Metal | | Size | -inch | | Item Weight | 1.42 kg | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals - **Material:** Metal - **Model name:** CPT19 - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 48.3 x 48.3 x 2.5 centimetres - **Item weight:** 1.42 Kilograms ## Images ![Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Traditional Series CPT19 19-Inch Paper Thin Crash Cymbal - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ML9wyNONL.jpg) ![Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Traditional Series CPT19 19-Inch Paper Thin Crash Cymbal - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ueIHGv9HL.jpg) ![Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Traditional Series CPT19 19-Inch Paper Thin Crash Cymbal - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bTTwV-QYL.jpg) ![Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals Traditional Series CPT19 19-Inch Paper Thin Crash Cymbal - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ueIHGv9HL.jpg) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/58465596-istanbul-mehmet-cymbals-traditional-series-cpt19-19-inch-paper-thin](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/58465596-istanbul-mehmet-cymbals-traditional-series-cpt19-19-inch-paper-thin) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
