Istanbul Agop Signature is the culmination of a lifetime of dedication to craftsmanship and innovation in cymbal design by Agop Tomurcuk, the founder and master cymbalsmith of Istanbul Cymbals. Destined for the eventual creation of this series, his notebook contained a wealth of cymbal making secrets and ideas. With their unique finish, color, and sound qualities, these cymbals are among the most thrilling ever created.

Reviews
"The reason we now have a model that's the Agop Signature with green logos is that was Agop's favorite color. So Arman and Sarkis' dad loved green and thought it looked nice on the cymbals, so that's how he liked to make them. After he passed away, they made that Agop Signature series cymbal from a collection of notes he had from cymbal construction, like "How to Make the Perfect Jazz Cymbal" based on feedback from a lot of drummers he had worked with through the years, some of whom are endorsers, some of whom are just really great drummers who visited the factory. Lots of guys, jazz musicians, would pass through Istanbul all the time and they would often stop and visit the factory, check out some cymbals, buy some cymbals, offer feedback. Agop always meticulously kept record of this stuff, and he would keep the records around. After he died, his sons made the Agop Signature Series from his notebooks, and as a tribute to their father gave the series his name along with the green ink." - Scott Liken
