Bosphorus Cymbals has established in 1996 by three master cymbal smiths, Hasan Seker, Ibrahim Yakici and Hasan Ozdemir. They are called as Masters because they are the most experienced cymbal smiths 'n Turkey who are still working actively. The Masters started to work at a cymbal workshop in 1983 when they were 11-12 years old. At the beginning it was a summer time job but they loved what they have been doing and they decided to quit the school and continue working. Their teachers were Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk who were also the owners of the workshop. During their service for that company for 16 years, they have learned everything and became master cymbal smiths. Even during that period they were being noticed by the visitors with their fine work. They quit from the company after 16 years because of some disagreements with their bosses and established their own company. But even today they have good relationships with their former employers. Masters never gave up showing respect to their teachers. Today our company has 16 cymbal smiths and 8 of them is being trained since the first day and became master cymbal smiths. The rest of our team are still in training period to be a master. The Masters are still working in the workshop with their employers and guiding them to create the perfect cymbals with their 40+ years of experience.
