Developed as the company's flagship series, K Constantinople cymbals are crafted to emulate the handmade cymbals Zildjian produced in the early 20th Century while still in Turkey. Designed to develop a more complex character as they age, each cymbal is hand-hammered, producing unique attributes even between cymbals of the same size and model.

Constantinople Hi-Hats feature a light weight, pin lathing and spread hammering to produce a dark, full-bodied “chick” and warm presence.

This price reflects the pair of hi-hats.
