Pre '71 Stambul 65 thin crash note: no logo stamp
Post '71 Stambul 65 with black logo stamp

Introduction: 1965
Discontinued: 1974 (maybe sooner)

Background: The Stambul65 was Paiste's first series entirely made of the B8 (2002 bronze) alloy. Released in 1965, the series was an important development that paved the way for the groundbreaking Giant Beat line and subsequently, the crowning achievement of Paiste’s use of B8: the legendary 2002.
Because of the name, the ‘65s tend to get lumped in with the regular "Stambul NS12" line. Many think the Stambul65 replaced the Stambul NS12 in 1965, but that is not the case. They were two different lines sold concurrently by Paiste in the late 60s and early 70s. The lines had two completely different emboss logos and the weight/type designations for each series was also different.
The more expensive Stambul65 was considered an upper class, mid-level cymbal bordering on professional quality, while the Stambul NS12 was strictly a middle class offering. The Stambul65 was discontinued first, made obsolete by the release of the 2002 in 1971. The Stambul "B8" (post '71) carried on for a longer period before eventually being replaced by the new 505 series in 1978.

  • Stambul65's are a bit overlooked these days, especially in the U.S., tending to get overshadowed in the collectors’ world by its more popular and ballyhooed successors, but make no mistake about it, these are some pretty nice-sounding B8 cymbals.

Innovation: .

Alloy: CuSn8 (Also known as "2002 Bronze")

Quality: The Stambul ’65 was considered an upper class, mid-level cymbal bordering on professional quality

Production: The majority of Stambul65's were made in Nottwil, but it’s not uncommon to see examples from the German factory, especially the marching cymbals. In addition to the emboss logo, Stambul65's made after 1971 will have a black ink Paiste logo and series name stamp at the 12 o’clock position above the bell and of course, the red ink type stamp at 3 o’clock should be on all well-preserved examples, no matter the year of the production.
