All the 'good' prices are out of stock...looking for a 20" Master. They have a 21" for $259/out of stock..

But, I am pretty sure you could get just as low prices via Sounds Anatolian

Has anyone bought straight from Sounds Anatolian before? What was the experience like?

 

[Gcort49]

Has anyone bought straight from Sounds Anatolian before? What was the experience like?

I have. FANTASTIC!

I have purchased about 5 cymbals..all delivered/packed well direct from Istanbul to Atlanta, where I am, in 3 days, door-door via DHL. DHL delivers the minute it comes off plane in Atlanta. I follow the tracking and am surprised how efficient they are. As a bonus, they ship FREE. Prices are always somewhat below retail. Though they have a website, I would go to Reverb and buy direct from them. They always accept offers, and have always accepted my offers. No dealing or wheeling. Straight shooters. They are always on ebay, under the name, 'georgianqueen'. I find they are more flexible at Reverb. I think because of high ebay fees. To be honest, I am about to order a Bosphorus Flat Turk Ride or a Masterwork Natural Flat from them. Masterwork prices much less, and make an offer even better.

Usually around Christmas time, they discount BIG on their Reverb site. They sell AGOP/MEHMET/Materwork/Bosphorus/ Anatolian/Turkish.

Two other new sellers that popped up on Reverb, direct from Istanbul: "Cymbal Crash" and "Pilot Garage"...very similar to Sounds Anatolian in offerings. Sometimes I think, they are all one-in-the same. Prices and Make an Offer/DHL 3 day shipping seem to be all similar, as well as selections.
Have not bought from them, but both receive 100% satisfaction from buyers.
Sounds Anatolian also is on Amazon, but better on Reverb, IMO

I would be hesitant ordering off Amazon. I have read, and experienced their packaging. I had purchased a Soultone 20" flat a few years ago. Great deal, @ $135. Came in a box about 22"x22"x3". No packaging or cushion material. It arrived in okay shape, but it was obvious, whoever packed it had little experience in packaging anything

Many of us have experienced those packing jobs. A few of us have gotten damaged cymbals because of it. But a couple of us have also gotten extra cymbals for free. Not me, but I have read the accounts. In all the cymbals I’ve bought off eBay I think there may have been one with an edge ding, but the track record is good and I’ll keep taking advantage of great deals when I see them! Just ordered another cymbal I didn’t need, lol.

Three pair of sticks for about $10. I don't normally play Promark but for about $3 a pair for high quality sticks, I'm getting some. Prices vary a little for nylon tip or wood, but not much. Even $16 for 3 is good.

That is their “seconds” line, like Goodwood by Vater. Not saying they are bad sticks but they are always cheap.

Dang - I teed up 3 sets of these to order but cancelled, didn't see that they were the seconds.

You can kind of see the visual “flaws” in the Amazon photos. I don’t know anything about the quality of LA Specials by Promark. I’ve had very good luck with the quality of Goodwoods, but usually I can find first quality Vaters or other brand sticks for less than six bucks a pair (cheap enough for me at my rate of stick consumption) so I just do that when a sale comes up somewhere.

Good to know. I may actually cancel the order.

 

[dtk]

i had some LA specials at some pt...i couldn't tell they were 2nds...but i may not be as aware of the flaws as others may be

 

[Cauldronics]

I chose not to cancel them and try one of two 3 packs. If they’re really bad I’ll return the other pack, but they’d have to be junk, which I doubt.
