Listing Title:
Vintage 1960s Paiste / Ludwig Standard 22" Ride Cymbal - Rare Size
Description:
For sale is a rare vintage 1960s Ludwig Standard 22" Ride Cymbal, manufactured by Paiste in Germany. While the smaller 14" to 20" sizes from this collaborative line are more common, the 22" models are quite hard to find and highly collectible for vintage enthusiasts.
Stamped from Paiste's classic NS12 nickel-silver alloy, this ride offers a beautiful, unique sonic profile. It delivers a bright, silvery, and distinct stick definition paired with a very controlled, mellow wash that never overflows or becomes overbearing. The bell is surprisingly warm, dark, and highly musical, making it an excellent choice for jazz, blues, acoustic sessions, or studio tracking where you need vintage character without overwhelming volume.
Condition Details:
No cracks, slight keyholing
Displays a beautiful natural vintage patina, light surface smudges, and minor stick marks consistent with its age.
Structural integrity is excellent; edges are smooth and the profile is completely flat with no warping.
Cymbal will be packed securely and shipped promptly. (2100g - 2500g)
