The Paiste Cymbal Company's website
indicates, the correct pronunciation for "Paiste"
is "pie'-stee," rhyming with the word, "feisty."

As one of the world's largest manufacturers of
cymbals, gongs and metal percussion, Paiste
has manufactured cymbals the same way for
over fifty years.

The Paiste Cymbal Company's pride in cymbal
manufacturing is evident by their commitment
to hand test each and every finished cymbal.
If a particular finished cymbal does not conform
to their exact standards, it is simply destroyed!
Paiste will only allow cymbals of perfect quality
and consistency to be sold and shipped to their
customers.
