Paiste Stambul
Stambul NS12
Introduction: 1932
Discontinued: 1970
Background: (not to be confused with "STAMBUL 65) STAMBUL comes onto the market in 1932 and is made of nickel silver (in Estonia from 1932 to 1941, in Germany from 1948 to 1957 and in Switzerland from 1957 to 1964).
The STAMBUL is an upper class cymbal for the era up to the Second World War.
Some STAMBULs also carry the brand of dealers or distributors, such as B.Trixon, the German drum manufacturer that PAISTE supplies directly to.
The "NS12" Stambul was replaced by "B8" Stambul in 1971, current thinking is they copied the manufacturing techniques and sound characteristics from the Giant beat series.
