UFIP Class Series

The Italian rotocast flagship

Class is UFIP's main professional line and the clearest demonstration of rotocasting: bronze spun in the mould so the alloy densifies toward the rim. The cymbals are bright, clear, and unusually consistent between examples.

  • Cymbals

    Ride, crash, hi-hat, effects, orchestral, and specialty cymbals, plus cymbal makers and series.

Made by

  • UFIP

    UFIP was formed in Pistoia in 1931 by a group of Italian cymbal makers pooling their workshops. Its distinguishing process is rotocasting: molten bronze is spun in a mould so the alloy densifies toward the rim, which UFIP argues does the work hammering does elsewhere.
