Same. I never liked the logo or name. If I found a good ST and price, I'd probably remove all the paint.

I wish I could agree that they are "as good as any" but I wouldn't say so. I think they are more of a low-end Turkish cymbal for people who want Turkish cymbals and want to pay cheap prices for them. I could be completely off base, but the ones I've had have rarely measured up to my Istanbul and Bosphorus pieces. I have probably ordered and played 6 or 7 Soultones now, and none have stuck around. The favorite was a 26" crash that played like a light ride, it was a lot of fun and sounded good, but I couldn't have taken it anywhere because it didn't fit in any of my bags!

I have a few Soultones. Also am not a fan of the name/logos, but these are excellent cymbals for the price. A notch below my Istanbuls, but not too far off. I would call them professional quality cymbals.
The 20" ozone China for 99 bucks is on the way to my house! Thanks for posting
Just went back up to $253. Nice grab!
I can't believe this 24" Bosphorus Turk flat is only $259!

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.
