and could have been a one to one brother to brother thing "Bob knew Pang wasn't a word he came up with Armand was ..Yeah, that's what Sabian called a Pang. I guess especially in those early-ish years they were stuck wanting to make things they had made when they were still a part of Zildjian but not wanting to infringe on any trademarks.
If you leave out the "saying" then it should be Bob whose family name begins with a PArmand to me had the greatest cymbal saying ever...

My current family, the 2nd hat is under the top hat. Just realized my 17" sabian aa crash is not pictured there. So there is that one more.Here's me and my ignorance, FWIW. Would it sound any different if played bell up or bell down?
Again, FWIW, I'd probably mount it tilted somewhat toward the throne (or intended angle of stick attack) - thinking that if I strike the edge, it wouldn't direct the force of the stick back into the cymbal body too much (if that makes sense). Pictures here make it look like only the extreme outer edge is flat, so it probably wouldn't matter if you didn't intend to strike the bow or bell. But if it crashes or has a usable bell, I'd hang it "bell up."
Either way, I hope it "fits" in your cymbal family. Have fun!
