TOP
QUALITY MIZRABS ~ Sometimes
harder to find than a good
instrument, a proper fitting mizrab
is essential to your playing. We
feature thicker wire mizrabs and the
sizes are indicated in the selection
boxes. We generally don't have any
smaller or larger than listed. Also
please note that usually the smaller
the mizrab, the tighter it will be so please choose accordingly. We
have a few of the older thinner wire mizrabs still, please indicate in
comments during checkout if you want
that type and we will send it only
if we have it....Your questions most
welcome via email or phone.
If you have a favorite size, select
the closest size in the drop down
menu, you can also add your
preferences in the comments
section of the order page
during checkout. We'll try to match
it for you rather than waste your
time & money with the wrong
sizes. If you are a new player then
look at the underside of your finger
and measure exactly from the first
line of the joint to the tip
(usually ¾ to 1¼ inch) and then add
¼ inch.
Any
questions? Please
email us....
$2 each + shipping

small and/or tight mizrabs (and yes I mean
SMALL) ~ pack of 2. These will work for small children often

Brass Wire Mizrabs ~
From Varanasi, the thickest wire we can get
from a good maker. Please note the smaller they
get, the tighter they get, can be widened and
tightened somewhat. If unsure just let me know
and will figure out the best size for you.Wire thicknesses at
about .052 inch.
If you have a favorite size, select
the closest size in the drop down
menu, you can also add your
preferences in the comments
section of the order page
during checkout. We'll try to match
it for you rather than waste your
time & money with the wrong
sizes. Smaller sizes are tighter.... If you are a new player then
look at the underside of your finger
and measure exactly from the first
line of the joint to the tip
(usually ¾ to 1¼ inch) and then add
¼ inch. Any questions? Please
email us....
$3 each + shipping
