UFIP Gong

Italian rotocast gongs and tam-tams

UFIP applies its rotocasting process to gongs as well as cymbals, producing tam-tams with an unusually even build and a bright upper spectrum.

  • 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.
