The process of combining copper, tin and silver is still a closely guarded family secret at the Avedis Zildjian Co., known better as simply by the name seen on drum cymbals everywhere: "Zildjian."
The oldest manufacturer of musical instruments in the world, Zildjian was founded in Constantinople (now Istanbul) in 1623.
The 401-year-old company has manufactured its world-renowned cymbals in Massachusetts since 1928, first in Quincy and currently in Norwell.
The casting produced by the company possess a unique musical quality and tone, sought after by generations of the world’s top drummers.
