Review: "Bosphorus cymbals are a little hard to find, mostly because they make up part of the 10% of cymbal sales that are not Paiste, Sabian, or Zildjian (“The Big Three”). But, they are out there, you just have to look.

This one is 18″, and it is classified as a jazz crash ride in the Bosphorus Traditional series, meaning that you can use it as a crash cymbal as well as a ride cymbal. So, I measured the response both ways."

This close-up photo shows the deep lathing and irregularly spaced hammering, both of which are done by hand."
