Hey I remember visiting the store about 10 years ago. Is there still a Cümbüş store in Istanbul?

My memory tells me it was up the street from the Ataturk bridge.

thanks ahead!

The store is still there, on Atatürk Bulvari in the neighborhood of Unkapanı (on the right side of the street as you face the aqueduct).

Zeynel Abidin Cümbüş
Zeyrek Mh., Haşim İşcan Gç. SSK Apt. 7/H, 34134 Fatih/Istanbul, Turkey

As mentioned, its close to the old aqueduct.

I was there around a year ago and they had a large range of cumbus to choose from.

Apparently the business is still run by the Abidin family.

Found it thank you both so much! I see it on Google Maps streetview. It wasn't showing up for me in a google map search but this store does and it's right next to Cumbus store:
