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.

Included is a beater (tipper) and small booklet called "Secrets of the Bodhran and How to Play It."

Bodhrans by Paul McAuley
These fine, high-quality bodhrans are hand made in Ballycastle, N. Ireland by
local craftsmen working according to old traditions. These are our finest Irish-made
bodhrans.

This is the 18" deluxe tunable bodhran in dark oak color with black grosgrain ribbon
and brass tacks, goatskin head and removable bar. Rim is 4 1/2" deep. The Paul
McAuley signature is engraved inside each bodhran. Comes with a beater that Paul McAuley
picked for us as his favorite, plus a McAuley-made tuning tool. This is really a wonderful
bodhran, and superb for professionals. $320
