Hello,

Together with a convolute I recently got a bronze cymbal (obviously B20), which I can't identify the origin.

It shows a little "luxor" stamp and below the block letters 'CYMBAL'. Nothing else.

I do think, that this 'luxor' came from the former German drum company 'Tromsa' rather from the Japanese low level company of the same name - this cymbal doesn't sound cheap.

The diamter is 38 cm (15") and it weighs 1,047 grams, which is slightly more than my other vintage Zildjian cymbal, also in 15", which sounds slightly higher in the pitch due to the lower weight of ca. 900 grams.

Can anyone tell me something about it?

Is it a Zildjian-made one? Or rather from UFIP? Or any other one?

Thanks for your comments in advance.

Cheers, Ralf
