Among the Koide series, the 703 cymbals are the closest to the traditional Turkish cymbal style.
All 703 cymbals are fully hammer-shaped and tuned with a hammer head.
In the Koide series, 703 cymbals have a lower bell profile and a slightly smaller diameter.
The profile of the cymbal body may vary, meaning that each cymbal can be distinctly different from its neighbor.
Each 703 cymbal is unique—no two are exactly alike, as their final form arises from the acoustic properties that naturally emerge during the manufacturing process, and the casting direction chosen by Toshio Koide during creation.
Due to the 703 series' high reliance on the craftsmanship process, when you purchase these cymbals, you will receive the exact 703 cymbal advertised online, precisely because each cymbal is unique.
The 703 series is crafted from Koide's specially refined B20 alloy, perfectly suited for jazz or any music genre requiring warm, organic, and tonally complex cymbals.
These instruments are extremely expressive and responsive, highly sensitive to strike location and technique. This series accepts custom orders.
