Bosphorus Cymbals has established in 1996 by three master cymbal smiths, Hasan Seker, Ibrahim Yakici and Hasan Ozdemir. They are called as Masters because they are the most experienced cymbal smiths in the world who are still working actively.

The Masters started to work at a cymbal workshop in 1983 when they were 11-12 years old. Their teachers were Mehmet Tamdeger and Agop Tomurcuk who were also the owners of the workshop. During their service for that company for 16 years, they have learned everything and became master cymbal smiths. Even during that period they were being noticed by the visitors with their fine work. They decided to start their own company after 16 years.

The Masters are still working in the workshop with their employers and guiding them to create the perfect cymbals with their 40+ years of experience.
