Visit Hilal Zil cymbal foundry, Habibler, Istanbul, December 2,013

This is the video filmed during our visit to Hilal Zil cymbal foundry at Habibler, Istanbul, during early December 2,013, at that time producers of brand name Crescent Cymbals, but since mid 2,014 back to the production of IMPRESSION CYMBALS. We would like to share with everyone the magic of the ancient processes carried out by such craftsmen for producing these very valuable cymbals. Their skills and hard work is out of doubt. Video and stills were shooted with 2 x Canon D60 cameras and edited with Apple iMovie software. Thanks for watching.
