MEINL Artisan Edition Mizhar – Tradition Meets Master Craftsmanship

Rooted in ancient Syrian tradition, the MEINL Artisan Edition Mizhar is a beautifully crafted frame drum designed to deliver the harmonic and rhythmic foundation essential in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean music. Built with authenticity, tone, and precision in mind, this instrument is a must-have for serious percussionists.

At the heart of its performance is a specially designed bearing edge by renowned drum craftsman Norbert Eckermann. This innovation ensures deep, powerful dums and sharp, articulate taks, allowing for expressive and nuanced playing across a wide dynamic range.

Constructed with the highest-grade hides, carefully selected for uniform thickness, the Mizhar offers warm, consistent tone with excellent response. Its internal tuning system allows for discreet and precise tuning, while the thumb hole grip enhances control and comfort during extended performances. A hot-branded MEINL logo inside the shell reflects the attention to detail and artisan quality of this instrument.
