UFIP S.r.l.
Ufip company is an Italian cymbal manufacturer, producing mainly high-quality bell bronze cymbals using centrifugal casting, also known as rotocasting or spin-casting. They are the only major cymbal manufacturer to use centrifugal casting. The hand-made and "Ear-Created" UFIP cymbals are the Class, Natural, Bionic, Brilliant, Rough, Extatic and Experience series, this last consisting of a range of prototypes from the other series and limited/custom production cymbals.
The company's signature series cymbals, Firma, were made from enriched B22 spin-cast bronze and hand-hammered by company owner and senior cymbalsmith Damiano Tronci. As of late 2007, they are no longer made. The company's offer includes intermediate (Tiger) and student (M8) cymbals, not made from the spin-cast technique. Tigers are rolled and stamped bronze, and M8 are stamped brass sheets. UFIP also made cymbals, which they sold under the Atlas, Kashian, and CB-700 labels. UFIP cymbals are known for rich timbre and great adaptability to all musical genres and styles—and also for their smaller than usual prices.
