I'm gonna call NPOV on the Paragon line section. It reads like an ad for Sabian please, please edit it.

I hope my comments on the consistency of the AA line aren't POV or original research. They do come close! I was there to see it happen. My first Sabian was a 12" AA Mini Chinese, another Sabian initiative.

Up until that time the most consistent top-of-the-line manufacturer by far had been Paiste, who had adopted many automated techniques but played down the degree of mechanisation. Sabian AAs were unapologetically produced by mechanised hammering, and IMO it wasn't a coincidence that they achieved a level of consistency that up until then had only been available in some student cymbal lines, none of which were the still well regarded bell bronze alloy.

Don't know what to do with this, from 24.36.86.157; feel free to delete: "The famed hammersmith Ken Thompson worked on peart for 21 straight hours for the 19" China." 69.169.49.12 06:51, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

This article reads like an ad for sabian more than a useful source of information on the company.

My dad says he used Sabian ccymbals in the early 70s-maybe he got confused with zildjian, but anybody has any info on cymbal manufacturers with similarities to sabian (other than zildjian) i would appreciate it-maybe zildjian had a temporary sabian line or something?

No, it's not possible, Sabian was incorporated in 1981. 2006 marked it's 25th year. The only other major cymbal company around before that was [Paiste], a Swiss company that was formed (or brought to America) in about 1936. He probably just gets Zildjian/Sabian confused, as Sabian today is more similar to Zildjian then.ReignMan

[edit] Sabian Symbols

Does anyone know whether the Sabian Symbols (astroligical) might have had something to do with the name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.80.125.229 (talk) 02:18, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
