Suspended Plates

Good morning, the suspended cymbals commonly used in an orchestra are Chinese, Turkish... or others?

I've read a bit here and there... but I haven't understood

Salute to you,

the cymbals normally on the market are all derived from Turkish ones in terms of size, workmanship, construction, conception, shape, molecular structure, etc. etc.!

the Turkish "Cymbal makers" taught the rest of the world and the rest of the world made a fortune thanks to them.

The formula of the material that constitutes the cymbal is secret, a bit like the "Coca-Cola" formula!

It is jealously guarded by every cymbal maker.

Among others, the two largest cymbal producers are two Turkish cousins who emigrated to Canada and the U.S.A!!!

Orchestral cymbals are usually chosen by the performer, who takes responsibility for them based on the preferences and requests of the Conductor!

Unfortunately, alas, the field of Percussion in Italy still remains an unknown field to most and an authentic jungle!

Ciao!

Take care!

P.S.:

...there are so-called "Chinese" cymbals, but this refers to the 'inverted' conformation and the very particular sound . . . they became widespread with jazz-rock in the '70s-'80s!

Now they are also requested in contemporary music!

In Italy there is only one manufacturing company, in Pistoia!"}

Thanks!

Now comes the "fun" part ... with notation systems, Finale or Sibelius in turn, what are they called?
