Istanbul Agop - XIST series

With the XIST series, Istanbul Agop has succeeded in producing professional-sounding cymbals at a friendly price. Traditional techniques are combined with modern methods. By 'modern', we mainly mean the special 'pin lathing' on both sides of the cymbals. This ensures that the cymbals sound clear. In addition, the hammering technique has also been modernised. It is a kind of hybrid hammering technique where hammering is not done by hand but by a machine. In the traditional way, a cymbal receives an average of about 4,500 hammer blows - the XIST cymbals need about 1,500 blows. The position and strength of the hammering is still entirely controlled by hand by the cymbal maker, giving each cymbal a unique sound. XIST cymbals are available in two different finishes: traditional or brilliant.
