Yes, and no. Mikael Zildjian stayed in Istanbul and made cymbals until his nephews asked him (in 1977) to stop making them and exporting to the USA.
Today, Mikael's apprentices Mehmet and Oksant are still manufacturing cymbals (under different brands, obviously, as they are not from the same family).
