Who can tell me about UFIP cymbals?

From _HG_

One thing that is special about UFIP cymbals is the rotocast manufacturing technique. Zanki used the same technique but Zanki closed down in early 90's.Read some about it at Google Books.Visit the UFIP web-site: http://en.ufip.it/I have an 18" UFIP Crash-Ride that I bought in 1981.It is in this picture from a studio back in 1982:[IMG]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vnZB1fW-Z3o/UHhIzdTZlMI/AAAAAAAABy4/cvETJ9NesNA/s1024/DSCN4843.PNG[/IMG]I still have it and I like it.It is the one closest to the camera, to the right in the picture.Next to it is an 18" Zanki Ping.Then comes a 16" Zildjian Thin-Crash.And finally a 14" Paiste 2002 Crash.The Hi-Hat is 14" Zanki.I still have the cymbals but since then I have got a few more cymbals.The drums were replaced in 1983 by this Aria Percussion kit, that I still have.

damn! i was hoping you still had the Trixon Profi hi-hat stand ,that the Zankis are on and would want to move it along.
