	The Art of Cymbal Making
		Cymbals hammered by automated machines tend to sound brighter, have a higher pitch, and cut through the mix better.
		Lathing is where the cymbal is spun on a machine and the metal is actually peeled away from the surface.
		Cymbals can be allowed to tarnish, which the formation of an oxide layer on the surface.

	Cymbal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Furthermore, the edge of a suspended cymbal may be hit with shoulder of a drum stick to obtain a sound somewhat akin to that of a pair of clash cymbals.
		During the middle ages the word cymbal was applied to the Glockenspiel, or peal of small bells, and later to the dulcimer, perhaps on account of the clear bell-like tone produced by the hammers striking the wire strings.
		Ancient cymbals are among the instruments played by King David and his musicians in the 9th century BC illuminated manuscript known as the Bible of Charles the Bald in the Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris.

	Cymbal alloys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cymbals are made from four main alloys, all of them copper-based.
		Some maintain that the term nickel silver should only be used for alloys containing an appreciable content of zinc, and would call this cymbal alloy nickel bronze instead, but the use of the term nickel silver for all cymbal bronzes with nickel as the main alloying metal is well established.
		Meinl FX9 is an alloy of 69% copper, 15% manganese, 15% zinc and 1% aluminium, and was used for the new Meinl Generation X line released in 2003.

	Cymbal
		Cymbals consist of thin round plates of various cymbal alloys, see cymbal making for a discussion of their manufacture.
		Orchestral cymbals are traditionally used in pairs, each having a handlestrap set in the little knob surmounting the centre of the plate, and these are called clash cymbals.
		The Greek cymbals were cup or bell-shaped, and are to be seen in the hands of fauns and satyrs innumerable in sculptures and on painted vases.

	Cymbal alloys
		Some of the finest traditional gongs and china-type cymbals are made from brass, but other than this it is used mainly for toy and beginners' cymbals, and notably for the "show" cymbals provided by some drum kit manufacturers for use in shop window displays.
		Nickel-silver is an alloy of copper and nickel (but normally no silver), and an alloy with about 12% nickel is used for some beginners' cymbals.
		Meinl FX9 is an alloy of copper, manganese, tin and aluminium, and was used for the new Meinl Generation X line released in 2003.

	Cymbal making
		Traditionally cymbals were made from individually cast cymbal blanks, which were then hot-forged, often with many annealing processes, to form the rough shape of the cymbal.
		Their Sound Alloy patent implies that they have a method for making sheet metal cymbals of this alloy, which would make these a unique third category.
		All other manufacturers openly state that all of their malleable alloy cymbals are made from sheet metal, and that all of their bell bronze cymbals are individually cast.

		In western music, china type cymbals are cymbals deliberately manufactured to have a "trashy" tone in some ways similar to a chau gong.
		On the other hand, the Sabian roctagon cymbals and some Ufip models are considered china types while having none of the physical characteristics of the normal china type, while the Paiste crystal crash is considered a European cymbal despite its squarish bell.
		China type cymbals are available in a wide range of sizes from 27" down to 6", most types singly but some in pairs.

		The quality and price of a cymbal is determined by several factors - the alloy the cymbal is made from and the processes used to form and shape the metal.
		These cymbals may not be as durable and have a fairly narrow spectrum of overtones with a short sustain.
		This is an alloy consisting of 92% copper, and 8% tin.

	Bbs Alloy Wheels
		An alloy is a combination, either in solution or compound, of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal, and where the resultant material has metallic properties.
		An alloy with two components is called a binary alloy; one with three is a ternary alloy; one with four is a quaternary alloy.
		Alloys are usually designed to have properties that are more desirable than those of their components.

		Also referred to as ancient cymbals, antique cymbals, or by 19th century composers as cymbales antiques, they have little in common musically with conventional modern cymbals.
		However, they are manufactured by cymbal makers using cymbal alloys, and there exist various intermediate instruments such as the Zildjian Zil-Bel effects cymbal, so despite their sound they are considered a type of cymbal.
		Sets will normally cover a chromatic octave, and are most often arranged similarly to a piano keyboard, but for particular pieces only those required may be set up, in whatever arrangement the player considers most suitable.

	Paiste Cymbals: About Us
		The principle of our family business is to continually create new sounds with cymbals, sounds, gongs, and bronze percussion instruments according to the creative needs of drummers and percussionists.
		The foundation of this search for musical sound is the successful combination of the musician's creative imagination and the inventive spirit of the musical instrument maker.
		The secrets in creating sounds are life-long experience, a deep knowledge about sound and sounding alloys, painstaking craftsmenship, and intensive experimentation.

	Drums FAQ
		Any one can analyze cymbals to discover the metal alloys used and the content of each, but the combination and process (when and how each are combined) to create each brand are closely guarded century old secrets.
		Crash cymbals come in many sizes and weights and are capable of creating a variety of sounds from a quick almost "splash" quality, to a shimmering brilliant long decay.
		The bottom cymbal rests on a "cup" that not only supports the cymbal, it allows angle adjustments to be made on the cymbal to provide a variety of sound.

		Such an alloy, when cast and allowed to cool slowly, is excessively brittle, but it can be tempering tempered and annealing annealed in a peculiar manner.
		If suddenly cooled from a cherry-red heat, the alloy becomes so soft that it can be hammered and worked on the lathe, and afterwards it may be hardened by re-heating and cooling it slowly.
		In these properties it will be observed, the alloy behaves in a manner exactly opposite to steel, and the Chinese avail themselves of the known peculiarities for preparing the thin sheets of which gongs are made.

	RaBe's Cymbal Page: Materials
		Cymbals are made of special composed metals called alloys.
		The major part in all cymbal alloys is copper, combined with one of three second components, tin (for bronze), nickel (nickel silver), and zinc (brass).
		Still today almost all professional cymbal makers employ B20 in at least one of their top lines, since it is said to have the highest sound potential of the known (or at least used) bronze alloys.

		Cymbals made from B8 are also generally more consistent due to it been more easy to work with than B20.
