Argentums are non-lathed and finished with a chemical process which contains silver. These cymbals have a higher pitched response than other non-lathed ranges thanks to the unique process that has been developed by Bosphorus, creating a cymbal with a harder surface; hence the higher pitch. It has a controlled delay and a focused definition where every strike is immediate creating a truly magic.

The Bosphorus Antique Series 20" Thin Ride marries the two lathing patterns found on the Traditional Series and the Turk Series. These cymbals offer the brilliance of a classic, lathed cymbal and the dryness of a raw, unlathed cymbal.
