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....

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....
