I thought it would be nice to have a Sizzichino thread here as well as the PDF, so I brought together the best from the PDF thread and put a final copy together. It's very similar, just a few extra links (**Make sure to check out the rarevintagecymbals.com link**) and some extra pictures. So enjoy.


- Feel free to post pictures, reviews, opinions, questions, clips, videos, collections! Etc.

http://timmetz.com/22spizz2287.mp3 (just a small clip I stumbled over)

A small quotation on cymbal alloy history:
In 1991, Roberto moved to Pescia, Tuscany. It was there, in Pescia,
that he has remained, working on his own. Until a few years ago,
Roberto worked with B20 bronze from a supplier in China. Many cymbal
factories buy material from China because it is very inexpensive.
However, the material became so inconsistent that Roberto was throwing
away about 50% of what he received. He found a new source of material
in Turkey, and for the last 3 years, Roberto has been using Turkish
bronze. He has never stopped experimenting, always looking for
improvements.


- Some say the 20” and 22” Sabian Artisan Light and Medium Rides were a
response to a spizzichino. Which definitely says something, if a large
company is trying to rival and almost 'imitate' a small company.

Some information about prices:

Prices as at April/May this year were:
US (via Lee Ruff) $650 for a 20" - I didn't ask for price for 22's
Europe (via Luciano or direct from Factory) €500 for a 20" and €600 for a 22"
plus shipping!

Roberto wants to have a standardised price list and same prices for all.

Visiting the factory saves on shipping, costs nothing and IS priceless.


Others say:
For a 22” Ride it is roughly $1,000 Asian Alloy (with shipping) and $900 Turkish Alloy.

Although not sold in stores, R. Spizzichino cymbals are available in the U.S.A. For information, email jaz@nfdc.net.

Cheers, Dave.

Yes, I'm envious of all those you have been lucky enough to acquire a Spizz. I'll definitely keep my eyes and ears open for any lurking around, I'd love to add at least one to my collection.

I love his kit's, although according to Matt.B, there is less than a dozen in existence. Lucky buggers! I'd love to hear those kits, or better try one, or better, own one Very Happy

Of course all I could hear was the ride.
