I saw recently one of the boutique snare makers is putting up the price of there bronze snares by 20%, copper is now being used in so much technology demand is up. So expect cymbal prices to be going up and up.
The old CB700 cymbals were made by UFIP, so they're an inexpensive way to try out UFIP cymbals. As with a lot of "no-name" cymbals, people just have a hard time reading the stamp.
good info. Hey Bart I wonder if you can sit with someone from Istanbul Mehmet? I know you already did an interview with the Agop peeps (tho the guy was just literally reading the history page from the Agop website). Just want to hear someone from Mehmet's side. Maybe you can reach out to Bulent Akbay?
Thank you for watching! A Mehmet interview is in the works and will definitely happen. The time difference has made it difficult to lock in a time but we have been talking for a few months.
@@DrumHistoryPodcast Awesome! Thank you for doing this. I've yet to catch up on your past episodes. I listen to them while working and it's entertaining and very informative!
Unfortunately, modern UFIP is also a story of disagreement. Rotocasting is developed by Mr. Zanchi mid 70s. He left UFIP in the 50s to do his own thing. Maybe the newfound liberties after fascism led him to do that? Those cymbals were sold under the "Zanki" brand name. "Zanki" was chosen to prevent mispronunciation, because they were actually quite successful in the US. So much so, that this led to their downfall, because they could not keep up with the demand. When Zanchi Senior died his sons took over. The new zankis were stamped as zanki F&F. Cymbals of this era are talked about as wildly inconsistent in quality. UFIP bought them up soon after. This is the information that I have
It was great to meet Nicky at The Chicago Drum Show! He had a 24 ride that would be a light jazz guy's dream! Beautiful!
