The Istanbul brand name was adopted by a cymbal works established by two cymbalsmiths, Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk. At that time, they had over three decades of cymbal-making experience. Mehmet and Agop named the company after their home city of Istanbul and produced high-quality cymbals for many, many years under the brand name. Both craftsmen signed each cymbal and many of these early cymbals are now collectors’ items, however, the Istanbul name still lives on with traditional hand-crafting methods making the brand one of the most traditional cymbal brands out there.
