Paiste Stambul B8
Stambul B8
Introduction: 1970/71
Discontinued: 1978
Background: Careful craftmanship and choice materials, these are the ingredients which give STAMBUL cymbals their characteristic tone, resonance and response.
They offer high quality and professional features at a reasonable price. Available in a wide range of sizes and in three weights: Thin, Medium and Heavy.
The "NS12" Stambul was replaced by "B8" Stambul in 1971, current thinking for the B8 version is: they copied the manufacturing techniques and sound characteristics from the Giant beat series.
Early 505's were leftover restamped B8 Stambuls
Innovation: Affordable B8 cymbals very similar to the 505's.
Alloy: CuSn8 (Also known as "2002 Bronze")
