For your prime listening and viewing pleasure is this vintage 13" Zildjian A Trans Stamp hi-hat cymbal pair from 1946-53. They're in fantastic condition with that textbook lathing you can expect from these golden era cymbals.
Each cymbal has a beautiful musical tone on its own, and together they make an exemplary pair of hats from Zildjian's most coveted American cymbals. The bottom measure almost exactly 13 1/16" and the top is 12 15/16" giving them a fast and buttery sweet chick sound. They have an articulate stick definition and a gorgeous wash.
They are in excellent condition and have miraculously survived the past 80 years with no cracks and near perfect holes. The only flaws to mention are one flea bite and two small areas of edge roughness on the top cymbal, and one miniscule bend on the bottom cymbal. Typical of Trans Stamp cymbals due to their thin edges.
They weigh in at a svelte 486g/512g. Quite a lovely sounding set of hi-hats. Enjoy!
