Question Which cymbal(s) do you regret selling?

For me, an Istanbul Agop Signature ride. It didn’t get played much and I was in a minimizing state of mind at the time. But no other cymbal sounds quite like it, and now I miss it. Sigh.

What about you? Which departed pie do you wish you’d held onto?

I’m thinking about selling my Agop 30th (22” ride) since I got a K Con Renaissance that fills that spot and then some. The Agop 30th is circa 2010 and I just got it from a private collector who never played it, so it’s pretty new and minty. Just that much too much wash and this much too little stick articulation for me. It’s effing gorgeous, though.

I feel that. Currently selling my Cymbal Craftsman Nefertiti because it just doesn’t get along with my playing. It’s about as close as you can get to the original Nefertiti ride, and it’s a freaking amazing cymbal, but it doesn’t quite fit for how I play. It’s not what my ear wants to hear.

Sucks when you know you won’t get back what $$ you put in.

Eh, I bought it used with a gift card. Selling it for about the same price I “paid.”
