Jon.W...the mizrab,being so light, does allow you a 'bit' more feel, but since the autoharp is just a matter of hitting in the general area, it is not that much of an issue with me; banjo is an entirely different motion...also, the mizrab is pretty tight...takes a lot of adjustment to be snug and yet not cut off circulation...I like it for what I do, but you'd have to just experiment... my general guess is that it would not improve your situation a lot...but, who knows?
