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 received the goat skin in good shape. The ordering process went smoothly. The only slight snag in the works was the long delivery time. (granted ,it was shipped overseas to US, and the post in general being hampered by Covid!) so, overall I am quite pleased with my purchasing experience with MCNEELA . -Daniel, USA Show Less Product Name: Bodhrán Goat SkinI received the goat skin in good shape.

Bought two skins. One is paper thin and has a small hole near the edge I hope I can work around. The other is thicker.

Bodhran Goat skin. I ordered a new goat skin for my 14" Bodhran from McNeela's. I got it in a reasonable amount of time & was able to reskin it per instructions I found on the internet. I would like to share a picture of my reskinned drum with you if there's a way to do that. You should consider posting how to videos on your website.
