Zildjian Armand 19" and A. Zildjian & Cie "Vintage" series

I recently stumbled upon Chip Stern's excellent review of, and thoughts on what he considers to be outstanding offerings in Zildjian's A-series line.

I certainly concur with him since I own a full set of the A. Zildjian & Cie "Vintage" series as well as a full set of Armands. At the time Chip wrote this piece only the 19" Beautiful Baby ride was being offered. Now you can purchase a full set of Armand cymbals for a pretty nice price.
