Vintage 1960s & 1970s Avedis Zildjian Cymbal Set (14" Hats, 18", 19", 20") + Protection Racket Bag. Includes Pearl Hi Hat Stand

Up for sale is a beautiful, complete vintage setup of authentic Avedis Turkish (USA) cymbals, complete with a heavy duty Protection Racket padded cymbal case.

** now includes Pearl H-985W Heavy Duty Double-Braced Hi-Hat Stand (Vintage 90s)

​This set belonged to my dad, who owned and cherished them for many years before recently passing away. They have spent the vast majority of their life safely cared for, and the bronze displays a gorgeous, uncleaned natural vintage patina that takes decades to develop.

​The set includes three 1960s "3-Dot" stamp cymbals and one 1970s "Thin Stamp" cymbal. Weights are exceptionally well balanced across the board, especially the 14" hi-hat pair, which fall into that highly desirable lightweight jazz/rock category.
