1981 Sabian is formally founded. The name is an acronym formed from the first two letters from each of Bob's children: Sally, Billy, and Andy. 1982 Sabian officially begins production and distribution. The AA (Automatic Anvil) and HH (Hand Hammered) lines are introduced at the company’s inception: 45,000 cymbals are produced in the first year. As per the agreement with Zildjian, Sabian is not allowed to distribute cymbals in the United States for its first year. 1983 Sabian begins distributing cymbals by truck to the United States. Nort Hargrove, a key architect in the vision of Sabian cymbals who designed the AA series, describes the experience. “On January the fifth I think it was, I went with a truck to Charles Halls & Music in Massachusetts, which was the Sonor importers. Then we went to Ludwig in Chicago and then Slingerland in Chicago and then Pearl in Nashville, Tennessee.” And after a long time, the early Sabian comes to me again. #sabian #sabiancymbals
