Korri Estrella Hi-Hat 13"

Cymbals in good condition, with noticeable dirt and signs of use. No cracks or keyholing — fully playable.

The Korri Estrella cymbals are rare vintage German-made instruments produced from the 1950s through the 1970s. Crafted from NS12 nickel-silver alloy using traditional Turkish-inspired cymbal forging techniques, they are particularly appreciated for their distinctive character and vintage jazz sound.

These 13" hi-hats offer a moderately dark, dry, and mellow tonal character, making them well suited for jazz, swing, blues, and other styles where a more subtle, controlled cymbal response is desired. Their relatively light weight contributes to a responsive feel and a softer, more nuanced sound.
