The Risha (Arabic for "feather" or "quill") is the single most crucial element in shaping the tone and attack of the Oud. It is the vital link between the musician and the instrument, directly determining the characteristic singing quality and dynamic range of Arabic music.

Our professional-grade Risha is meticulously crafted to deliver the perfect balance of flexibility and rigidity. Unlike guitar picks, the Risha is long and asymmetrical, designed to be held diagonally and strike the strings with a sweeping motion, producing the smooth, round, and clear tone essential for executing intricate taqasim (improvisations) and complex rhythmic patterns.

Key Features:

• Optimized Flex: Engineered to provide the subtle "give" required for a smooth, less percussive strike, enhancing the Oud's vocal quality.

• Ideal Thickness & Length: Carefully sized for the traditional diagonal grip, ensuring maximum control and speed across the Oud's multiple courses of strings.

• Essential Tone: The correct tool to achieve the authentic, resonant timbre demanded by Middle Eastern music.
