The Ping dates back to the mid 1950s. This is based on catalog information plus we have recorded one 22" Ping with a Hollow Block stamp (L1). There may be more but we cannot yet be sure when a cymbal is a Ping once the model ink is gone. In the early days the Ping model came in Medium and Medium Heavy. We know this from the catalogs plus that one 22" Hollow Block weighs 2550g which is in the Medium weight range. A second 20" Ping from the 1960s weighs

The weights moved up a bracket in the mid 1960s
