Robert R.Thank you for my well constructed traditional instrument. This bodhran has a sonorous and most melodious tone, it shivers and trembles when struck, it’s booming reverberations circulating around the kitchen long afterwards and diminishing delightfully until they are no more.

I don't know much about bodhráns, as this is my first one. I'm just starting on it, but a friend, who plays them, says this one is pretty good. The only problem is that for my size, it's a little small. Upgrading to 16". Also, it arrived with the tape all messed up on the face of it. But that didn't really bother me too much, as it still sounded good. Just need to get me some of that bodhrán cream.

I’d previously used a non tuneable 12 bodhran made by a well known brand. Some would describe it as a souvenir, Celtic design on the skin ect. However I found it acceptable as I usually play for my own enjoyment or occasionally busking with a friend on guitar. While surfing the web I came across McNeela’s site and was quite impressed with the site and their story. Living in Australia it becomes quite restrictive buying from overseas due to postage, scams ect. Anyway, I bit the bullet and ordered the 14inch non tuneable bodhran. I was, firstly, amazed at how prompt the delivery was. It seemed to arrive in no time at all. Also was very well packed and arrived in great condition. Even while unwrapping I realised that I’d purchased an actual musical instrument. The fine workmanship and finish was apparent straight away. This item was described as a good piece for beginners. I disagree. From the first beat(beater and bag included) I was blown away with the quality of the tone, amazing! The t bar design and arm cut out on the frame make it more comfortable while playing. The tapering on the skin is also professionally done. I don’t know what else to say. I could’ve bought the tuneable version but, I couldn’t really justify the expense. A big well done to McNeela music as well as the emails they send which encourages me to play along with actual musicians.
