Pre-Owned Zyn 22″ Ride – Made in England c.1950s–60s, 2,050 g (SH-ZYN22)

Vintage Zyn 22″ ride, made in England, dated c.1950s–early 1960s by the plain “ZYN – MADE IN ENGLAND” ink stamp and nickel-silver construction. At 2,050 g it’s a medium-light ride with a controlled, low-volume wash and tidy stick—ideal for small rooms and recording.

Key Features

• Dated c.1950s–early 1960s (original Zyn line; not Super/5-Star)

• 22″ diameter, measured 2,050 g

• Nickel-silver alloy typical of base-line Zyn models

• Small bell; broad machine lathing; focused, dry character

• Musical stick with short–moderate sustain and restrained overtones

Why Choose

Classic British Zyn voice in a larger format: woody stick over a controlled bed of wash that won’t swamp microphones. Great for jazz, folk, indie, and quieter backline setups.
