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.
