Zanki help

[notroh73]

Picked up a set of Slingys last week that came with a set of 14" Zanki HHs. Says made in Italy and a Vibra stamp. Any idea to age or value?

Fiorello i Figlie !!!! Va Bene Ragazzo!!!! Several years ago - before they let loose the teenage cyber-geek gestapo - l penned some info on Zanki\Zanchi on wikipedia - hopefully it's still there. Vibras were from the '50's made up until around the early 70's - handmade B20's - the 'hats are worth about $75-100 or so. lf spelled wth a "k" (not a "chi") - then those are '70's cymbals
