【 *Please refrain from price negotiations as they are cumbersome. *】 I purchased this cymbal used about 2-3 years ago and it was quite useful for a while, but I'm selling it because I haven't used it much since I changed my kit. I hope someone who will appreciate it can have it! * I had an AI analyze the photos to determine the age. I was told by the previous owner that it was from the 70s. The weight is unknown, but I've uploaded a sound sample online for your reference. The recording was made with an iPhone 16, so the high frequencies (around 4kHz and above) sound more prominent than they actually are. However, it has a mellow vintage sound and a crispness characteristic of New Beats, making it a very easy-to-use cymbal. If you use the slightly thicker bottom cymbal as the top, I think it would be a great sound for Pops and Rock. It doesn't have the harshness of current models, which is a good thing, and it's easy to handle. * Please remove the half-width spaces below to view. h ttps://youtu.be/HCnjWkBpgV0 【Vintage】A Zildjian New Beat Hi-Hat 15 inch (Early Model / Early 1970s) Hi-Hat This is an early model (15 inch) of the A Zildjian's classic "New Beat Hi-Hat". Both the top and bottom cymbals have the characteristic Large Stamp (3rd Stamp) engraving of the early 70s. This pair is attractive for its classic stick definition and thick, penetrating mid-range. ■ Specifications Brand: A Zildjian Model: New Beat Hi-Hat Size: 15 inches Age: Early 1970s (Large Stamp era) Weight: Unknown (no scale) Country of Origin: Made in U.S.A. ■ Sound It features a balance of dryness and warmth that is not found in current models.

It's a versatile cymbal that's easy to use in any genre. ■ Condition No cracks or keyholing. There are no noticeable dents on the edges, so it's in very good condition for a vintage cymbal.
