After more than one year of extensive and regular playing by my friend Chico, the ivory jiwari doesn’t show too much wear. This material is even much more resistant than horn!! Although it doesn’t feel as hard as horn, it is definitely much tougher.
Note that the jora string caused an almost bigger cut than the playing string…? (click on the photo to zoom in)
