Tony's return policy is reasonable as well.
Ok thanks guys. Where would you recommend buying online from?
Tony who owns Cymbalsonly.com is who gets all my business. But there are others such as Mycymbal.com
Feel free to take a look at my online photo album for my latest purchases from Tony. http://www.drummerworld.com/forums/album.php?albumid=1141
dmacc knows what he is talking about...trust me
....and great choice deciding to go with Istanbul
you won't be sorry
Thank you guys so much! Big help. I have a very old zildjian k custom that i am using as a ride for jazz right now,. its very dark, dry, and pingy. I was looking for a second jazz right like a traditional washy jazz ride. I was looking on cymbalsonly, and they have an awesome selection!! I was thinking about getting the Istanbul 20" sultan jazz ride. What do you guys think?
Just talked to him. He's awesome and really nice which refreshing . I bought a 21 Istanbul sultan jazz ride.

So will those Istanbuls work for more folk/pop/singer-songwriter kind of things or are they really only suited toward jazz?
I ask because I LOVE the sound samples I have heard of the Istanbul Agop SE Jazz ride (22") and hats (15") on Tony's site.
Thanks!
I have bought 5 Istanbul Agops over the years from Tony at cymbalsonly.com. He is a fantastic guy to work with. After the first two cymbals, he remembered my name(which is rather unique) and what kind of sounds I liked. Because he plays, too, he was able to give me an idea of a given cymbal's feel, as well as its sound. I wholeheartedly recommend him!
As for using the Istanbuls for styles other than jazz - absolutely! I use mine for rock, pop, and country, as well as jazz. I find them very versatile.
I sent you a PM that pretty much said the same thing IDDrummer said.
