I've had this bodhrán for a year or so and i'm amazed as to how much i can get out of it even though its a non-tunable. Should hopefully be moving onto a tunable soon enough, very excited. Thanks very much Paraic

I am a beginner and had purchased a larger bodhran, which was too big. I took the posted advice of a veteran player and purchased my new 14 inch drum from Paraic based upon the "maker". It is beautiful! It's also a better size for me. I can tell there is a great deal of love and pride in the workmanship of my drum and it sounds wonderful and full for a smaller drum. Paraic even refunded some of the shipping that I had paid since it didn't cost as much to ship as expected. Thank you so much, Paraic. I have definitely bookmarked this site!

I just received my Bodhran today, and it looks fantastic and sounds amazing! I most definitely would suggest The Bodhran Maker to anyone who is interested in a good Bodhran.
