Re: [Finale] GPO Percussion - "piatti cymbal"?

[Ken Durling]

I don't know about its being a malapropism, but it's certainly a redundancy.  "Piatti" is just  the standard It. term for the pair (piatto/piatti) of symphonic "clashed" cymbals.   A "crash" cymbal to me is something on a drum kit, along with the "ride", "splash" cymbals etc.

At any rate, my main question was about the term "piatti cymbal" 
which is used in both the GPO and the Finale manual -- this is 
definitely a malaprop, right?  It should be either "piatti" or "clash 
cymbals" -- not "piatti cymbal." Correct?
