Legacy Mini Hydras Begleri - Ebony Editions

Legcay Mini Hydras Begleri - Ebony Editions

Aroundsquare's Hydra Begleri are a fun yet highly capable modern adaptation of the traditional Greek multi-bead begleri. The Mini Hydra design has been praised by elite players as one of the best begleri sets available. There is something special about the size, shape, weight, and multi-bead configuration that makes the Mini Hydras a favourite that players keep coming back to. The Mini Hydras are a slightly down-sized version of the original Hydra beads, 14mm in diameter, and 7mm tall each. They are drilled to accommodate 550 paracord, with an exposed knot.  

The ebony wood beads will also darken over time as they absorb oils from your hands. You can accelerate this process by oiling or waxing them with an appropriate non-toxic product.

Bronze and copper are both quite soft, and will wear and patina over time. Copper tend to patina much more than bronze. 

• Two bronze + four ebony wood (~21.4g)
• Two copper + four ebony wood (~22.4)

The Hydras are extremely playable, and despite their cylindrical shape, are surprisingly nimble. They are less solid and therefore slightly quieter than heavier single-bead designs, and the multiple beads add a nice "fiddle factor" to each set. The rounding of all edges on the beads adds to the comfort and overall feel.

Please note that items included in the package (strings, stickers, patches, bags etc.) vary in colour and quantity depending on availability.
