Sabian Signed Cymbals

Posts: 520 Threads: 167

Hi, I own a 22" Manhatten Jazz Ride. Underneath the bell, there is a signature. I bought this directly from Sabian (not through a store or first owner), and I was curious who's name is under there. I can't make it out.

I attached some pics, any help would be great!

It's the name of the guy who hammered it.

Well, that makes sense. Is there any cymbal artisan better than another? Or is there is a roster somewhere of the people who hammer these things out?

[COLOR="DarkRed"]All Sabian HH (hand-hammered) cymbals are signed by whomever worked on 'em.

I dunno if one particular craftsman at Sabian is considered better than another, however. [/COLOR]
