Students take a once-in-a-lifetime factory tour of Zildjian
The Zildjian cymbal factory isn’t normally open to visitors.
But a group of Boston University percussion students got the chance to see how hand cymbals are made before selecting more than $20,000 of equipment donated to the [...]University’s music program by Zildjian, a company that makes world-renowned cymbals at its factory in Norwell, Mass.
Zildjian has been making cymbals since 1623, when Avedis Zildjian, an Armenian alchemist in Constantinople, hit upon the combination of copper, tin, and traces of silver that gives the company’s instruments their unique sound quality.
