upward flanging


Explanation:
'kragning' as you know, according to Engstroem, is flanging, cupping or curling (i.e. cymbals?), and googling this brought me to http://www.cymbalholic.com/forums/showthread.php?8520-Edge-F...
I found the term 'downward flange (I guess that would be nedkragning?) and 'upward flange' also came up in google, but I have not found an example of 'upward flanging'
