My name's Jim and I'm new to this forum. When my mother-in-law moved house last month I found a dusty cymbal in her out-house, and I'd like to find out a bit more about it. It's no use to me as I play bass, so I'm planning to sell it for her (probably on ebay), but I want to get a fair price, and she and I were both interested in how old it is, as it was in her out-house before she moved in.
It's an 18 inch crash (according to my band's drummer, as I don't know the difference between a crash and a ride), and has no cracks or keyholing. I understand what the lack of cracks means, and I've examined the hole in the middle through a magnifying glass, and it seems small and round, which is apparently a sign of a lack of keyholing.
It took me a long time to find any writing on it, but when I did it said the following:
AVEDIS ZILDJIAN CO
Genuine Turkish Cymbal
Made in Canada
It's got some sort of logo too.
I'd like to know when it was made, as I couldn't find any reference to Canadian manufacturing on the Zildjian website.
Also if it's worth anything then my mother-in-law will get a nice surprise.
I look forward to your responses,
Jim
