Updated to add meet times. Here's some video of some C&G 11th Anniversary cymbals-- Elvin Jones tribute cymbals. I'll be bringing a couple of these with me:

I think that may be on your end, it looks fine to me.

The 19" Curtis sounds real nice to me. Is it available? (says "on hold" on the web page).
Not sure I would drive to Frankfurt to pick it up. I might be able top pick it up in Berlin later this summer? Would be cool to meet Griener for example.

Hey Seb— responded directly by email— that cymbal is taken, but I will probably leave some things with @griener— you can reach out to him through the forum, and probably meet him when you’re in Berlin, and play whatever cymbals are still around!

 

[toddbishop]

Meet today in Berlin!

 

[toddbishop]

I know when I hear a lot of German guys say “geil” in reference to a cymbal, that things are going well….

 

[toddbishop]

Just got back, had a great time-- here's the tour wrap up. There's video from Istanbul of some cymbals I special-ordered-- of them being lathed, and then me playing them a few minutes later.

 

[Pre ‘72]

Wow. That Bruno Holy Grail cymbal is something else.

Nice playing too.

 

[toddbishop]

Thanks! Those 22" A-types (like Bruno) are kind of imposing in the practice room, but on the gig they just sound like big, normal, great cymbals. I took one called Prima to Germany for someone, but he balked and got something else; now I have to ship it back there for this guy in Dresden:
