Aroundsquare's "Standards" begleri series is our homage to the ubiquitous “standard issue” Greek barrel shaped begleri. This series is a contemporary adaptation of the original timeless design, with a slightly refined shape, precision machined and polished to perfection. They feature the same 1:1 aspect ratio favoured by most players, and a compact form factor that is small enough to slip easily past the string instead of binding, and sufficiently rounded for comfortable play. The right angles in the design provide excellent bead control without compromising on nimbleness. 

The Mini Standard series is sized at 14mm tall by 14mm wide, making it the most compact standalone set we have produced to date. The beads are noticeably smaller than our other begleri, but due to the angles and compact weight, they feel very substantial in the hand, and during play. Note that unlike the Modern Standard beads, the Mini Standards are not Hardcore Compatible, meaning the inner bore is not large enough to accommodate the beads of the Hardcore Gut System.

NOTE: The titanium Mini Standards are much lighter than most other stand alone sets we sell. At just 7.5g per bead, these will be much lighter than what many players are used to. However, the sets play very well when a reasonably supple cord is used. Their light weight makes them very easy and relaxing to play, even during extended use. 

The titanium Mini Standards feature an attractive laser etched word mark on the top of each bead, certifying their authenticity. 

All sets come with extra cords, stickers, and a carry bag, although colours and quantities may not be as shown in the photos.
