  • Istanbul Mehmet

    Agop Tomurcuk and Mehmet Tamdeger founded the workshop that reintroduced Turkish hand-hammered cymbals to the West in the early 1980s. After Tomurcuk's death the company divided; Mehmet Tamdeger's side became Istanbul Mehmet, and the Sultan, Nostalgia, and 61st Anniversary lines are its best known.
