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 ordered this skin and built my first real Bodhran. I love it. Playing my own Bodhran is definitely good medicine! I feel it in the ancient parts of my soul!! I’m no pro actually just learning as I go but I love the tone and it is very responsive. My drum is a week old (not even finished technically) and had an unfortunate accident in my workshop while I was not there. Somehow got puncture damage. But it still plays alright. I will be ordering a few more skins unfortunately not at the sale price that I got the first one unless Mr. McNeela is feeling generous wink wink! This drum really makes me happy, can’t wait to make another. I have also ordered two whistles, a music book and a wooden flute in the past. Every thing has been excellent and shipping to Vancouver Island on the West Coast of Canada has always been prompt. Excellent service!

I was in search of goat skins to make some small rattles and happened upon this great company just by chance. I ordered before I realized it was way over in Ireland (I’m in Oregon, USA) but their service was great and my package arrived a very short while later. Normally I might unsubscribe from a vendors email list right away, but I find I enjoy their homey, personal stories, music samples, and videos. I’m not in the market for one, but their instruments are just beautiful. Very satisfied, thanks!

I had an old Bodhran that needed a new skin, and this one worked out perfectly. In conjunction with Paraic's very thorough video on reskinning, this skin produces a great tone and is very tight. I will be buying this skin if ever I need another one. Mòran taing!

Great for replacing old banjo heads. Ive made multiple purchases of 3+ at a time and each and every skin has been of the same great quality.
