These are cymbals created by Roberto Spizzichino who, in my opinion, is the greatest cymbal maker that ever lived. His recent passing is a great loss to all of us, but his legacy will live forever in the superb musical instruments he created. Note: Due to demand we reserve the right to limit quantities. We'd like these cymbals to find their way into the hands of players so they can be used to make music, as was the intent during their creation. Our pricing for these cymbals reflects our standard margin over our cost just like any other product we sell as a retailer. We make the same margin on these items as we do on anything else we sell in the store. We absolutely WILL NOT get involved in speculative pricing on these cymbals as that would, in my opinion, dishonor Roberto's memory. Hear Roberto discussing his philosophy on cymbal making here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-zoAJWpHZA  . This is the perspective of a true artist.
