Bosphorus is a cymbal manufacturer based in İstanbul, Turkey and Kennesaw, a suburb of Atlanta,Georgia, United States.
The factory is located on the Bosphorus Strait and owned by three cymbalsmiths who worked at the Istanbul Cymbals factory until the company split in the 1990's. They were trained by Mehmet Tamdeger, who worked at Zildjian in the 1950's and Agop Tomurcuk who was foreman of Zildjian's factory in Istanbul until its closure in 1978.
The US operation is owned by a trio of drummers, including Jeff Hamilton and Mike Vosbein.
