Necati Celik Mizraps


I can't find Necati Celik mizraps in stock anywhere.

I also tried buying the mizraps that Zeynel Demirtas sell but my credit card keeps getting rejected in his website for some reason, and he doesn't answer my messages.

Anybody knows here I can purchase a good turkish mizrap, preferably one of those 2 models I've mentioned?

Thanks!

Ethnic musical and Sultan oud shop both seem to have them, on their own websites as well as on ebay & etsy.

Thank you Brian!

I bought the blue ones from Etchnic musical but for some reason they are way thinner and softer, they're useless IMO.
I didn't know about Sultan, I'll ask them, looks like they have them.

Necati has been one of my teachers. If memory serves, he makes his own mizraps by carving black nylon cable ties using a sharp piece of glass. Apparently, the process is pretty slow and painstaking. When he showed me, it was relatively narrow, and rounder in shape than most misrap/risha I've experienced. Back in the day, when I showed Necati my sanded cable tie misrap, he pronounced it "good." But, honestly, I don't use that kind anymore. I now make mine from nylon pallet strapping; if you have the right kind (width & thickness), it only takes a few minutes to sand it into shape. My rishas are thinnker, harder, and "springier." When I first started using them, they would crack regularly (though, if you have slack, this is easily fixed by trimming & resanding), but, now, I have "felt into" using a harder, springier risha. They crack very rarely, and I get much less repetitive stress in my picking arm/wrist than I used to; my picking technique has "softened." I suppose this is just a long way of saying that I STRONGLY recommend experimenting with many different materials, shapes and sizes of misrap/risha.

Is this the misrap you are trying to buy? https://www.akakce.com/telli-calgi-aksesuari/en-ucuz-necati-celik-bo...
