This is a gorgeous ride cymbal that measure an actual 22 & 3/16”. It's a block letter large stamp which dates it to 1954-56, which was an amazing time for Zildjian A's. This one is no exception. It exhibits beautiful hand hammering & lathing. It has a perfect medium weight for using as an overall time keeper, & just sounds wonderful. It would fit right in for anything from jazz to rock. It has a great bell tone & beautiful buttery crash. This cymbal has a gorgeous patina, & is free from cracks with no key-hole. The edge is nice overall, but under close scrutiny, there are a few very mildly rough areas & micro-edge nicks, & once very small flea bite. The cymbal looks great overall & plays wonderfully. It absolutely will not disappoint. Enjoy!
