In the 1950s, he worked in the U.K. zilcan factory in Istanbul. At the age of nine Mehmet tamdeğer started to work for Mikhail zilcan. Mikhail zilcan and kirkor kucukyan taught him every aspect of this ancient Turkish art, based on a history that stems back to the early 17th century.

Mehmet and Agop named after the city that their company has been home to the epitome of high quality cymbals for many, many years, Istanbul. These cymbals were first exported to the U. Small size. In 1984, first under the name "zildjiler", and soon afterwards as "Istanbul". Both craftsmen signed each cymbal and many of these cymbals are now collectors items. After Agop Tomurcuks unexpected death in July 1996, Mehmet decided to continue the production of cymbals under his own name, i̇stanbul Mehmet. A lot has changed since then, but his belief in the richness and the character of a handmade cymbal will always remain. Machines dont have ears. Thats why we continue to make our cymbals according to the ancient tradition – with an open eye towards the music thats being made now, and in the future.

~~Istanbul Mehmet~~

Mehmet Tamdeger learned cymbal making from the legendary Cymbal Master Kerope Zilcan in 1950, and Michael taught him all of the ancient art of Turkey, based on history dating back to the early 17th century. After Michael closed his workshop in 1977, the cymbal workshop was started with trial and error. The cymbal workshop was founded in 1980, and adopted a brand named Istanbul in 1984, which has been said to be the city of high quality cymbal.Their cymbals were first exported to America in 1984. At that time, both have signed the cymbal created and now the autographed work is a collectors item.After Agop Tomurcuk suddenly died in 1996, Mehmet decided to continue making cymbal with his name, Istanbul Mehmet.
