Cymbals were first used in the early civilization of Mesopotamia about 5,000 years ago. Around that time, Metalworkers had discovered that they could make their tools stronger by mixing copper with a little tin, an alloy they called bronze. This Turkish bronze was first used for military and religious purposes, but gradually began to be used for Musical Instruments. By 1300 A.D., the Turks were becoming very proficient at cymbal making, and the cymbal had become a fixture in their music.
