Bodhrán Goat Skin Need a goatskin for a bodhrán or drum head vellum? We have plenty in stock. Diameter of the skin is 22" and can be cut to size. Please allow a 10-day lead time for Lambeg skin.   MAKE SURE TO SOAK SKIN IN COLD WATER
McNeela bodhrán goatskins are always sustainably sourced as a by product from healthy animals, carefully selected and examined for quality. They produce great depth of sound and are easy to tune.  100% Natural As our goatskin is a natural product no two pieces are alike so your skin is unique to you with all of its own natural characteristics. These can potentially include visible pores, minor differences in thickness across the skin plus colour variations. Natural goatskin, like our own skin, will benefit from conditioning from time to time so we recommend you use a bodhrán conditioning cream like DrumDiddly to keep your skin flexible and protected and elongate its playing life. Hand-cured The skins are naturally hand-cured in lime, which gives that all-important bass tone, then 'pickled' to close up the pores and finally stretched and left to sun dry, achieving a lovely clean 'bleached' finish. Superb Tone
They give great attack and a fast response and the sound they produce is rich and luscious with a warm mellow bass tone.

I needed to replace the skin on y bodhran and was struggling to find one when I came across the McNeela website. I ordered a skin and followed the instructions shown on the YouTube video. Having never replaced a skin before I was very happy with the outcome and the drum sounds great. Just need to tape it now!

An amazing store and staff! At first I bought a different skin online, but it wasn't the right one. I was a bit not sure what to do. I went to them directly and they got me the skin I needed and it was perfect, no questions asked. Amazing staff, product and customer service!

Everything went well, except of a soft Spot where the skin is very thin, and someday will break. But: the Sound is great, and part of the second skin now serves my Banjo.

Good quality easy to fit and sounded great my client was very impressed and was close to the sound that his original skin made after 30+ years of playing before it split.

I bought three skins to build a shamisen (keeping one spare for the inevitable mistake). Both sides worked first time! They were really easy to install and sound great. Now i can make a drum as well with the spare!
