Pre-Owned Bosphorus 20" Masters Series Flat Ride Cymbal
The Bosphorus Masters Series 20" Flat Ride is a cymbal born for subtlety, shimmer, and sophistication. Handcrafted in Turkey, the Masters Series is known for its dark, complex tones, and this pre-owned flat ride has all the hallmarks of a cymbal that has already started to develop a beautiful voice of its own.
With no bell, the flat ride design gives it an ultra-smooth stick response and a low, controlled wash. The result is a cymbal that’s perfect for jazz, acoustic sessions, or any setting where you want clarity and texture without overwhelming volume. Every stick stroke is articulate and defined, while the wash that sits underneath is soft, smoky, and musical.
The hand-hammered craftsmanship means no two are alike, and this particular cymbal carries its own unique character—a blend of shimmering highs, woody stick definition, and mellow undertones that make it inspiring to play. As a pre-owned piece, it’s already been played in, giving it extra warmth and responsiveness.
Visually, the Masters Series has a natural, earthy look, with a traditional finish that complements its organic sound. This is a cymbal for players who value nuance, dynamics, and musical conversation over sheer volume.
At Musicmaker, we love cymbals that tell stories, and this Bosphorus 20" Masters Flat Ride is one of those rare finds—a responsive, elegant cymbal with a voice all its own, ready for the next chapter of its journey.
