Bodhrán Size14 inches is a great size suiting both petite and younger players as well as travelling musicians who need a more compact drum, without compromising on the McNeela signature lush bass sound. The 6 inch rim depth produces a deep bass tone with great volume potential.

With the broad spread of tonal options available you can offer a subtle accompaniment in quieter session spaces and a full resonating bass in concert settings.

Environmental conditions can be conquered with a quick turn of the hand so you can play all night without worrying about humidity or temperature.

We recommend treating your skin with DrumDiddly bodhrán conditioning cream to keep it in optimum condition.

I love this Bodhran. Every part of it has been thought out with love and care. Black wood and black leather rim with a pocket for the tuning key affixed with brass tacks make for a beautiful drum. The goat skin makes delicious sounds that are on a spectrum of deep bass to light popping, giving you plenty of room for experimentation. Hitting those flat notes isn't problem on the 14" as the reach is so easy, previously very difficult on the 18". The carry bag comes with a little pocket for your tipper, which is a nice little touch and attention to detail. Thanks to the bonus lesson that Paraic gives, I finally learnt the correct way to hold the tipper, i.e. the way the professionals do. I couldn't be more happy with this Bodhran. This is the one for me!

This drum is so fantastic to play. I got it sent to me in Canada, and it arrived 5 days after ordering it. Great customer service, the people were very helpful and I'm very pleased, so thank you very much.

Apologies for not writing sooner! I received the bodhran I ordered very quickly - less than a week to Maryland, USA. Thank you for that. I love it and will enjoy playing it for years to come. LOVE it!! It's a beautiful instrument to both see and play. Many thanks for everything and best wishes to you.

Excellent product and service. This is purchased as a Birthday present for my son who already owns a shallow Bodhran and his comments “far exceeded expectations” Delighted
