Remeshok Chetki

The Remeshok chetki are Aroundsquare's modern take on the jointed plate style chetki which are commonly found in Russia. The name Remeshok comes from the Russian word for "strap", reflecting the clean lines of the set. Each set consists of 18 small rectangular beads, plus two tapered end beads, strung together on 300 lb kevlar cord. The resulting set has a simple, minimalist look, but represents a great deal of refinement and streamlining in the development process. 

The stainless set is hefty at 84g but very playable. As with the brass, it plays slower than lighter versions. This helps with control, but makes the set less nimble overall. The brass set weighs 88g and is nicely balanced and surprisingly playable. The weight makes it play much slower than the lighter versions, but as with begleri, the heft helps with overall control of the set, and provides greatly enhanced tactile feedback during play. The Copper set weights 90g and the pieces when used and well aged, tend to take on a very distinctive appearance over time, developing a patina and surface texture unique to each individual piece and owner.
