Citation : Q. I just finished inventorying and noting the serial numbers of my cymbals. What do the unique alpha numeric numbers represent? Do SN?s represent date, model and the craftsman that made the final cuts? Just wondering,

A. The serial numbers do represent what the cymbals were, who made them, and when they were made. The initial information is stored here for 5 years before being discarded but we can offer you the codes of those numbers that tells the year of manufacture (via the first 2 letters of the lot number). They are as follows: ID - 1994 IE - 1995 IF - 1996 IG - 1997 IH - 1998 II - 1999 JJ - 2000 JA - 2001 JB - 2002 JC - 2003 JD - 2004 JE - 2005 JF - 2006
