Hmm. I came to this article having just read about 'tapers' being used for lighting purposes and wondering what they were, and instead I find something on the thickness of cymbals. I would have thought that 'taper' is, by definition, something that thins out, so I would not exclusively donate this article to cymbal-making. Tapers for lighting sound very interesting and like they have nothing to do with the common definition at all, for instance. I'll just Google this time, I suppose... --195.92.67.65 05:32, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

"taper"

Surely the most prevalent use of the word "taper" is a person who collects tapes of live music performances. 71.141.254.22 08:13, 5 April 2007 (UTC)Steve P.[reply]
