I am in no way a musician, but have long wanted to try a Bodhran. Black Friday gave me the opportunity to get one. The McNeela web site was and is very helpful, and I ordered one, and I was kept informed about delivery until it arrived. I have been impressed with what followed: I expected a drum, but have found myself invited into the world of Irish Music, with followup e-mails offering tips on learning and encouragment, plus links to follow to learn more about the different aspects of it. Mc Neela does not just want to sell you an instrument. He wants to sell you IRISH MUSIC.
