Welcome to Cymbal Wiki

A free hypertext Cymbal Book brought up to date for the 21st Century. The old Paiste-only Wiki is in the Paiste portal with lots of new additions. Avedis Zildjian and K Zildjian Istanbul are coming along, although there are some temporary external links back to pages on Black.net.nz during the changeover. The other manufacturers are coming. Creation of user accounts is not automated until we can overcome some technical issues which mean we are stuck on an old unsupported version. But you can contact me if you want to volunteer to help. WARNING: if you use a gmail address the wiki won't be able to send you emails so we urge you to come up with some other email address for registering.

You may notice some broken links as we are working, but the site is growing daily!
