i really want some better rishas. those really thick flimsy ones would be great but i cant find any. Any suggestions?

2 suggestions

1. go to lowes or home depot and see if they have cable ties in the plumbing section

i found some that are wide enough to shape into nice rishas

2. jameel on the forum has an online shop that sells wide celluloid peramyd risha for like a couple bucks each.

1. option tone akes a lot of work, be warne. you have to sand it down a lot.

Peter Kyvelos at Unique Strings in Belmont Massachussetts makes excellent rishas, with varying thicknesses. you can work the risha with fine grade sandpaper to get it to the thickness and shape you like. you should give him a call...good luck,
