The Zildjian K’ Constantinople 22″ Ride Cymbal is a 22″ ride cymbal, medium thin, with a low pitch, made of B20 bronze alloy, and constructed using handhammered, and hand lathed techniques. The cymbals of the K’ Constantinople Series have always been the best in their field. Since first seeing the light of day in the second half of the 19th century, the K’ Series has continued to set new standards in quality and longevity with unbelievable resonating characteristics despite a small construction. The K’ Series remains the benchmark to this day as it is constantly the subject of development and optimization, while the metal composition and hand craftsmanship remains an unchanged family secret.
The new K’ Series undergoes a new and improved hammering and receives an additional lathing on the top and bottom surfaces with a vintage-style bell. These new features give the cymbal not only its universally esteemed dark and warm tone, but also give the sound over-tone nuances. The look of the K’ Series is reminiscent of the original due to the additional lathing which gives the cymbal a note of tradition and nostalgia.
