Bodhrán Skins:
As you may have guessed, yes the skin is the most important part of the bodhrán. That's why we only use the best goat skins, sustainably sourced.
We have done many blind tests and the results are staggering. Even non-bodhrán players can tell the difference between a good quality skin and a poor one - it's that obvious.
There is a huge difference in sound between a professionally made bodhrán and a badly made one.
Hand-cured and hand stretched, properly conditioned and treated (without the use of chemicals) goatskin wins every single time.
Carefully removed goatskin is used because you get much more depth of sound from it.
The curing of the skin has to be carried out with great care as if it's done incorrectly it can destroy the skin or the sound that comes from it.
 
Please note that as goatskin is a natural product variations of skin thickness, surface details and colour will occur.These are not defects but contribute to the unique qualities of your new bodhrán.
Hand-Tuning System
Features an 8-point hand tuning system for complete playing flexibility in all environments and conditions.
Bodhrán Taping
All of Paraic’s bodhráns come taped around the edges as standard to ensure that gorgeous McNeela bass sound, part of which has made his drums so popular.
This technique creates a much deeper tone and sustain. It was discovered by observing drummers who use E-Rings on their drum kits to dampen the tone.
Taping the 16" bodhrán extends the harmonic range of the bodhrán and adds complexity to the bass.
Key Points:
30 day money back guarantee from the day you receive the bodhrán.
1 year guarantee.
PLUS for a limited time only: You will be upgraded to Full Access to Rónán Ó Snodaigh's Beginner to Master Online Bodhrán Course

I love it ! Deep sound, many tones available :-) I have been looking for a replacement, as my first one had been stolen, but the equivalent from the same from the same maker didn't sound as good to me ; so I decided to try another one, from Mc Neela this time, and that's it :-)

I’ve been thinking and researching for months then decided on the Rosewood 16in tuneable , it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The quality and craftsmanship is second to none, it has a super deep sound which is easily controlled and made me practice ever time I’m at home, I can’t seem to put it down which is great as I have improved 10 fold. If you’re thinking of purchasing a bodrhan look no further than Mc Neela you won’t be disappointed. Very satisfied customer. Steve

I learned playing the bodhran years ago on a cheaper non-tunable one from a tourist shop . Left it lying for years and recently picked it up again. Soon I thought it was time to buy myself a better quality and came across your website. After some initial glitches of the website (it stated I could pay by bank transfer which was a fault, but very nicely and correct taken care of by a nice lady of the customer service) I got my bodhran delivered. And what a quality it is! Playing is so much more fun now and I keep discovering all new sounds and techniques with the selection of tippers and beaters. Also the online lessons of Ronan are very good and inspiring. A big thank you to the people at McNeela!
