A mizrab as worn on the index finger A Mezrab (also spelled mizrab) is worn on the finger of a Sitar player as shown. It is a plectrum made by hand from a continuous strand of iron used to strike the strings of the sitar. Although it is generally worn on the index finger, a second mizrab is sometimes worn on the middle or little finger. The mizrab fits tightly on the end of the finger so that it does not move while playing, intended to be projected roughly 1/4 inch from the end of the finger.
