Bodhrans
by
Malachy Kearns
(Roundstone Musical Instruments)
Made in Connemara, Ireland, these bodhrans are lovingly hand made by master craftsmen. Each has the look of an individually made instrument, not mass produced. When you hold one of these in your hand, you feel as if you are right in Ireland! The skins on these bodhrans may be mottled, as they are real animal skin.
MK2. Beautiful hand-painted Celtic design as
shown, 18" diameter, tacked goatskin head, tacked wood strip. Rim is stained
in choice of dark
brown or medium brown; rim depth is 3 3/4". Cross bars inside. Included is a beater (tipper) and
small booklet called "Secrets of the Bodhran and How to Play It."
Price: $129.
We specially order these bodhrans with the design offset from the center. This is because you are supposed to play always in the same quarter of the skin (Tommy Hayes says so in his video, and he knows everything!). That way, you don't play on the design because you play in the blank area.
