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.

Excellent Value I was really pleased with the quality and price of the skin. I had been told that a replacement skin would be more than the cost of a new instrument. So I was pleasantly surprised at the cost. Also it sounds great.

Very happy with the new goatskin vellum I ordered to re-skin my Bodhran. With a quality product and fast, safe shipping to the US, I highly recommend McNeela.

I have now bought four bodhran skins from Mcneelamusic that have all been fitted and tried. Great quality skins, good service, will buy again when required, no complaints from me. Many thanks

I've bought these skins before, and the quality of this last lot was excellent. On my first order I had an issue with packaging and let them know. This has been resolved on the later orders. Paraic listens, and I like that! An earlier skin fitted to my own bodhran is now nicely run in and sounds very good. Excellent attack, easy to note bend with a remarkably good bass on a 15" shallow rim tunable drum.
