Founded by Alice and Steve Kundrat in 1973, Mid-East began as a living-room-based solution to Alice’s need to produce quality zills (finger cymbals) for her belly dance students. Although Mid-East has experienced vast expansion since its humble beginnings, we have always provided high-quality instruments at reasonable prices. As our product lines expanded, we recognized that Mid-East was no longer representative of our offerings. In 2017, we changed our name to EnSoul to better reflect our brands. Meaning “to endow or imbue with a soul”, EnSoul captures our desire to provide musicians with instruments as unique as they are — each with the potential to create beautiful sounds that resonate within the soul.
