PAISTE Sound Formula 13" Mega Cup Chime

【Rare】PAISTE Sound Formula 13 Mega Cup Chime

*Please refrain from price negotiations.

Thank you for viewing this listing.
I am selling this item as I am reorganizing my drum equipment and wish to pass it on to someone who will cherish it.

■Reason for Selling
I acquired this discontinued item used about a year ago and used it once or twice for recording. I was very fond of its unique look and sound.
I have used and stored it with care, but it has seen less use with my current playing style, so I would be happy if it could be passed on to someone who can fully bring out its potential.

■Product Details
・Brand: PAISTE
・Model Name: Sound Formula 13 Mega Cup Chime
・Current New Retail Price: Discontinued (This is a rare vintage-class model)

List Price
¥49,500 (¥45,000 excluding tax)

■Included Items
・Cymbal only

■Product Condition
Considering its manufacturing period (1980s-1990s), it is in very good condition. There are signs of use such as minor stick marks, but there are no cracks, chips, or widening of the center hole.
The instrument is in good playing condition and produces the bright, clear sound characteristic of the Sound Formula series.
*Please check the photos for the condition.

■Product Features
This is from the Sound Formula series, which uses the patented Signature Alloy.
As the name suggests, it features a massive cup, and despite its small 13-inch diameter, it holds its own perfectly when played within a regular drum kit. It can be used as an effect cymbal to add a powerful accent to an ensemble.

■Shipping
The cymbal will be carefully wrapped in cushioning material (bubble wrap) and shipped securely in a cardboard box.

This is a cherished instrument with many memories, so I hope it will produce wonderful sounds for its next owner.
Thank you for your consideration.
