Vintage Paiste Gong Date?

Posts: 4 Threads: 1

Folks,

I stumbled across an interesting piece (and bought it) this weekend courtesy of Craigslist. It is apparently a Paiste 22" symphony gong, sold by Ludwig. It is stamped (into the metal) on the back with both Ludwig and Paiste Logos. The Paiste logo says "Paiste Made in West Germany" The stand is chromed, and apparently came with the gong. The double-headed beater that came with the gong and stand is also stamped Ludwig.

I see via research on the web that Ludwig and Paiste had some business relationships in the late 50's/early 60's, but does anyone here know when Ludwig was selling this particular type of product? I'd like to tell people the approximate age of the gong and stand when we are performing with it...

Yours in Drumming,

Dave Gibbons

If you good folks have no idea on the dates Ludwig sold this gong, could you suggest where else I might hunt on the web for information about this?

Thanks!

You can send an email to Paiste and they might be able to help you. I did this for a Paiste gong I have and they werre very helpful even though that one has not been in production for a couple of decades.

@oddball - point taken, I'll drop back the tempo.

@convertedludwigplayer - I sent off an e-mail to Paiste as you advised, I'll kick back and see what develops.

Thanks for the replies.

Here's what I got upon enquiring with the folks at Paiste US:

Hello David,

Per our colleague at Paiste GmbH & Co. KG, we cannot provide an exact date but your gong could be from the 60’s.
