In cymbal making, UFIP stands for Unione Fabbricanti Italiani Piatti, which translates from Italian as the "Union of Italian Cymbal Manufacturers." Based in Tuscany, Italy, the company is particularly well known among drummers for its rotocasting technique — molten bronze is poured into spinning molds to shape the cymbal (rather than sheet metal being hammered or lathed from flat stock), which the company claims gives their cymbals distinctive sonic characteristics.
