- The Ping dates back to the 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 class. A second 20" Ping weighs 2147g which once again is in the Medium weight class for the 1960s. This cymbal has what we call a 60s stamp. In the 1958 setups document we have
58 setups
- The weights moved up a bracket sometime in the 1960s. This is reflected in the cymbal weights and also in the catalog descriptions. In the 1969 setups document we now have
69 setups
- There are cymbals which are inked Ping and cymbals which are inked Ping Ride. This may reflect a model difference although they have been grouped together here. We have enough ink examples to know that at some times Ping and Ride were separate ink stamps, some times they were together. There were also weight class ink stamps added, sometimes in separate locations. The times when we don't see a weight class stamp might mean that it was rubbed off although the Ping ink stamp survived. The diameter was added under the Ping Ride ink stamp sometime in 1982, and the other variations appear to drop out after that. No more weight class ink stamps.
