Talk:Cymbal

message: The layout of this article could use some attention.  As more information gets added, it will be easier to create specific sections, but for now I think it could use a little more organization.  A list of cymbal types should be created (looks like it has been started under the 'cymbal parts' section.  I'll start working on some of this.  Any other ideas?  --Ivan Gierland 19:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Removed text: One of the world's largest manufacturers of cymbals is Paiste. Other cymbal manufacturers include Saluda, Zildjian and Sabian. Why single Paiste out? They make some great cymbals, I have a Paiste ride, crash/ride and trad splash in my 'ultimate' set, but they're one among several. The best are a matter of taste, the biggest AFAIK is a factory whose name I can neither pronounce nor spell in Wuhan, China (one of many cymbal factories in that city).

message: Anonymus IP's are continuously deleting several small cymbal manufacturers, the fact that they don't know them is of 0 relevance to an encyclopedic article, that companies exist and produce cymbals, which is a fact, my username is OZPerpetue, but my office inserts keyloggers so I am going to sign with my IP --201.171.177.93 (talk) 07:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cymbal Manufacturers 

message: At various places in his Autobiography, Berlioz laments that he could only get ceramic cymbals, and further that these were often cracked or chipped.  From which, the Italian piatti, or plates.  It does seem to me that a pair of ordinary dinner plates, with holes drilled in the centers for handles, would in fact function as cymbals, after a fashion.  Their noise would be similar, yet different to "modern" cymbals, which are, if memory serves, of Turkish origin.  (With the triangle, "Turkish music.")  Which is what Berlioz expressly wished to have, though it seems rarely got.
Turkish cymbals differ from plates in that they are made of wound wire, hence their "springiness".  Which reminds me of the main deck guns of the early English Dreadnoughts.  The barrels were made of wound wire.  When they were fired they tended to whip from side to side a tiny bit. 
As it's been asked, gongs are entirely different.  They are similar to bells, in that they are made of resonant alloys (as are bells), rather than wound wire.  Dave of Maryland (talk) 01:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ceramics 

message: There is no mention of wire wound cymbals in this article or in "cymbal manufacture." There are a significant number in use (in my experience - 60 years.) Perhaps they are too costly to make perhaps because they do not lend themselves to machine manufacture or perhaps they break too easily - they are easily noticed to be wire wound when very broken because they consist of 2 previously concentric pieces connected by a wire of squarish section. If slightly broken there is a crack that is semi-circular and concentric.
Perhaps their sound has fallen out of favor. I assume that historically they were among the earliest because they would be the easiest (though labor intensive) to manufacture with primitive technology.
They are mentioned on this talk page under the subject "Ceramic ....."
I don't feel qualified to add to the article but feel that their insertion is relevant and important under this article or "Cymbal Manufacture" article. Ecstatist (talk) 06:15, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wire Wound Cymbals 

message: a) Kindly lead with the article name. If this belongs at cymbals, move the page there first.
b) We only need one See also section.
c) This article can have a section on cymbal manufacturers if that section is an overview and not just a straight list wasting page space that a link to cymbal manufacturers more than covers. The section on manufacturers should be worked into a section on manufacturing and doesn't go under the See also section. — LlywelynII 12:25, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
