Special orders:

If you don't see what you're looking for here, we can have it made!

Here's how it works:

bosphorus cymbals

If I don't have it in stock (which is very rare), US models take about 3 business days to get from their GA warehouse to us. If a model isn't in stock in the US, it takes roughly 4-6 weeks (but can take longer) to special order from Turkey. Delays are very common, coming from Turkey, so it's not unusual for the build time to exceed these initial estimates...sometimes by a lot.

Bosphorus will accept custom orders for different weights and sizes on most of their current and discontinued cymbal lines. Email me for more details, or with questions, and I'll gladly assist!

If the model is in stock at their CA warehouse, I can have it in about 5 business days, or even have it drop shipped directly to you. Their US inventory is large, but there are occasional pieces on backorder. Agop has discontinued making custom cymbals, but much of what used to be considered a "custom" piece, now appears in their catalog.  Email for more details!

If the model is in stock in their US warehouse(s), I takes about 2-4 business days to arrive, depending on where it's located. If it's in stock at their main Canadian facility, allow a couple more days.

Sabian will accept custom orders for all past and present, current and discontinued models, in any sizes. Generally speaking, if it was once available, they'll still make it. Pricing is at current cost for the series/size - no additional cost. As of Jan 2012, certain custom requests, however, are subject to a new, per-cymbal up-charge, that is based on the size/series/amount of work that goes into production. The up-charge is only for non-standard sizes/weights, or any special requests not normally associated with the piece being ordered. It gets confusing, so email me for details. It can be anywhere between $40-$300 per cymbal. For example, 20" AA series - $95/cymbal extra, 22" AA $110 extra, 21 HH/X: $135/cymbal extra. Please allow 3-4 months lead time, although some pieces have come in well inside this time-frame.

If the model is in stock in their central, US warehouse(s), I takes about 3 business days to arrive. If it's in their west coast facility, it takes 5 business days. If it's not in stock in the US, and has to come from Switzerland, 30 days is normal. 

In the past, Paiste has allowed certain types of custom orders, denying more requests than they accept. There is a formal process of inquiry, which takes a significant amount of time to receive an answer...as long as a month or two. Why this long? Ask them. Build time after acceptance, ranges from 3-4 months, with a 40% up-charge.
