This review is from: Zildjian: A History of the Legendary Cymbal Makers (Hardcover)
Cymbal is manufacturing in Turkey since 1623. An alchemist named Avedis had manufactured cymbals for Ottoman Empire's Military Band (Mehter) with his own processing secrets and his cymbals has very powerful and clear sound. He had migrated to America in about last years of 19th. century. His brother Korepes Zildjian had continued to live and manufacture Zildjian brand cymbals in Istanbul then Mikail Zildjian who is the grandchild of Korepes. At those days two children had begun to work in Mikail Zildjian's workshop one of them Mehmet Tamdeger and the other is Agop Tomurcuk They were at eight years old when start to work. M. Zildjian passed away in 1978 after selling his cymbal workshop in 1950. Mehmet and Agop had restarted to manufacture cymbals in 1981 under name of šstanbul cymbals.
