Bodhrans by Waltons

of Ireland

These bodhrans have a single bar on the back, and a leather strip around the outside at the edge, under the tacks. The skin (also called the head) is goatskin. A knob beater (also called a tipper) comes with each. The wood rim is 3 5/8" deep on the 18" bodhrans.

The skins on these bodhrans may be mottled, as they are real animal skin.

Plain Bodhrans

WB1. Tacked plain 18" goatskin bodhran (this one is like the ones pictured below, but without the screened design). Reddish brown wood rim, dark brown leather strip, single bar on the back. Knob beater (tipper) included. We are now selling these at only $49.

We have one of these plain bodhrans that is perfectly good, except that there are some white spots on the skin (it looks like paint, but we don't know what it is). We are selling it as a second for only $44.

Bodhrans with Screened Pictures

The tacked 18" bodhrans shown below have beautiful Celtic images screened onto goatskin; we think they would make great wall art, as well as musical instruments. These bodhrans have a single bar on the back, and come with a knob beater (tipper). This is the same bodhran as the WB1 plain 18" bodhran above.

Please note: if you play on the screened areas, especially with the beaters, this will leave marks on the design.
