Bosphorus cymbal company was started in the 90s as a small firm for the production of cymbals. By now, this company has taken the Bosphorus cymbals market by storm owing to the quality of their products. It has overtaken other leading cymbal producers especially due to the unique features that they produce. The endorsement by Jeff Hamilton and Stanton Moore is an indication.

The core founders of this company were three young men, Ibrahim Yakici, Hasan Seker, and Hasan Ozdemir, who gained their experience after working for the earlier cymbal manufacturer K Zildjian company. Seeing the division in the Zildjian companies they opted to feel the market gap to develop their business.

Using them is a thrilling experience that one will never cease to remember. They usually are very nice to use. They have an impressive music quality that they give especially the pitch and the tone. They can be relied upon for different music genres, not like the traditional ones which were mostly for jazz music.

The popularity of these products continues to grow when their market price are compared to those of cymbals from other producers. Products from Bosphorus are very affordable where some of them go for half the price demanded by other manufacturers. The cost of producing them is lowered since no machinery is used. Only manual labour is utilised.

By eyes, one can easily confuse them from hose produced by the Zildjian Company. This similarity should never be a surprise to one, in fact, it is something that one should expect. The reason behind this similarity is that the Zildjian are the roots of Bosphorus. The logo is only what makes the difference.

The newest brands of this merchandise from Bosphorus are a series comprising rides, hi-hats and crashes. They have received a huge demand from the drummers family in most parts of the world. An absorbing thing about them is that they are the first cymbals to be made of B20 bronze.

The B20 bronze type is one of its kinds when it comes to cymbal manufacturing. Over the years bronze has ever been used as the only material for making them. However, with Bosphorus adopting this type of bronze, they can easily shape them into their desired shape, spreading the weight evenly and eventually flattening the edges accurately.

Despite their traditional appearance, they have well designed with very attractive finishes. Their surfaces are covered multiple hammer marks on top which run through from the edges to the centre. Concentric circles are found on the bows of the cymbal making it extra attractive to the eye.

The outer beauty of these cymbals is not enough to define their overall performance. The raw material used in their manufacturing makes anyone using them to be in total control of the quality of music they want to produce. All users of these brands will not be ready to go back to other brands that they have used before.
