Paiste (English pronunciation: /ˈpaɪsti/ PY-stee, Estonian pronunciation: ) is a Swiss musical instrument manufacturing company. It is the world's third largest manufacturer of cymbals, gongs, and metal percussion. Paiste is a Finnish and Estonian word that means "shine". Apart from cymbals and gongs, Paiste has also manufactured other percussion instruments such as crotal bells, finger cymbals, and cowbells, later discontinued. The first Paiste cymbals were produced in 1906 by Estonian musician Toomas Paiste in his instrument repair shop in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, to customer orders. Toomas had served in the Russian Imperial Guard, and retired in 1901, to open a music publishing business and music shop. More information...
