Thank you Marjet Roling!!! I've been to Istanbul Mehmet factory 6 times and your video is one of the best factory tour videos I found on internet. Very few parts of the whole process missing in your footage.
Wow! i thought the bell indentation was made by machine and then just hand hammered on top. It's good to know that they are actually hand made all throughout! Thanks for the video!
@* I simply asked where could I hear the sound of a2 cymbals, a2 means clashed cymbals for band and orchester. how could I buy cymbals with no idea about their sound?? and I unable to image how they may sound, so I asked about a sample (or mp3 sample file), as Sabian one and only is doing. Even UFIP wrote to me "hey come here to hear the cymbals", but I cannot travel 1000 km! but as you said Istanbul does not produce hand cymbals or suspended cymbals for jazz and rock drumset. thanks.

how do you get into the factory? Do they have tours or did you arrange a visit personally?
Just got my 17" Sultan. Thanks Mehmet T and all at Istanbul. My favorite brand of cymbals.

So thankful people are willing to do this job :)
My cymbals are Mehmet Traditional, I love my 20" ride, and 18" crash.
Just looks exhausting...... Thank You! I Love my ride!
Seems like a safe enough place to work. Ya know, like the US auto factories of the 1910s..
this is a master work trully inspirational.
Looks modern compared to bospherous.
Is it me, or do they seem to have huge right biceps?..
yeah great video thanx!
Hi there, I may be visiting Istanbul in November, where is still factory and are there tours?
How can they work with that noise, and without earphones?
After a while you become deaf, no need for earplugs.
Believe it or not the factory does offer ear plugs. The workers who do not use it chose to do it so!
The same way we play drums and cymbals very loud without ear protection.
Very interesting. But where could I hear the sound of Istanbul hand cymbals? i find nothing :(
There's plenty of videos on youtube.
@@istanbulmehmetbrazil are you sure? a link please of videos with examples of "a2 cymbals"?? I never found them, except Sabian à2 cymbals hmmmm

Y were they pouring in water n was it iron die they were pouring it molten metal
Because the B20 Bronze has to cool down so they can start working with the blanks.
I bet they cost like 5 American dollars at the source. Well, time to buy plane ticket to turkey!
@Ahmet Hakan where is this factory ? Can i visit it ?
No they don't! hahaha
