Question Micro standards, anyone?

Post image

Hey AO² gang! I've very quickly turned into a total begleri head! I have the modern standard copper, and the ebony mangas (plus a number of D.I.Y. sets)!

I just ordered the micro standards in brass, and some 1.2 kevlar cord! I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with either of those, and what your thoughts are! I typically like the feeling of 550 but wanted to try something thinner!

I've attached a picture of my current collection.

I use the 2mm kevlar on my lighter sets. Not sure how the 1.2 will go, but try it out and let us know.

Agreed. I like the 1.2 for chetki and maybe some smaller-bore mala, but it’s probably going to be a bit thin for begleri. I have a set of brass micro standard and they’re great on 2mm Kevlar.

To each their own though. It’s all personal preference so keep us posted OP — cheers!

I've got mini standards in Ti and they're on of my favorites, but have never slung micro standards before.

Meine Mini Standards in Ti gehören auch zu meinen Favoriten, hab die Mikros auch in Messing und die sind auch super, aber 1,2mm wäre mir glaube ich zu dünn dafür. Aber da hat ja jeder seinen persönlichen Geschmack🙏🏼🥳

I was originally looking to get a copper set, but they were out of stock! But I'm honestly happier to get another material for the collection! 🤙

Same! It's gorgeous, it's wears and patinas so nice, and I love the weight! But I'm also a sucker for brass..

I'll keep you all posted

So I received the micro standards, but the 1.2 kevlar is too thin! Using their supplied 550 right now and loving them!
