Cymbals have been used in religious ceremonies since ancient times. They are thought to be of Asiatic origin. Different forms of the cymbals were used in the ancient East. They were in use in Isreal by about 1100 B.C., but they did not appear in Egypt until around 800 B.C.
They have been known in Europe since the Middle Ages.
Cymbals were traditionally produced in Turkey and China. They were made two different ways. One method was producing an almost flat cymbal, and the other contained a high central dome.
Small finger cymbals were also made. They have a bell-like tone and are still used today.
Cymbals appeared intermittently in Europe from the 13th century on, although they are believed to have been imported earlier. Their orchestral debut was in the 17th century, but they did not last.
Turkish military music contained cymbals parts during the 18th century. This aided in the introduction of the cymbals into the orchestra. They gained a permanent position during the late part of the century.
