Rosewood
If you're looking to buy a bodhrán, McNeela have it all. This Irish bodhrán is something really special, the type of wood really is just a matter of taste but Rosewood also helps the bodhrán produce a remarkable, deep tone and looks gorgeous.
Tuning System
The Allen-key tuning system allows for flexible volume control so you can have the perfect tone every time. Being able to tune a bodhrán is a basic need for any serious player. The weather and humidity on this planet is unpredictable and natural skin can react to humidity. Owning a tunable allows you to have total control over the tension of the skin on your bodhrán. This will mean your bodhrán is not too high pitched or too soft when you go to play in a session. Watch the video below to see how to use your tuners.
T-Bar
You will notice both a T-bar and an arm cut-out for even more playing comfort. The T-bar is removable if preferred. 
Taped Bodhrán
This bodhrán comes taped around the edges for a deeper effect.
Comes supplied with a classical hardwood bulbous beater, Allen key and handy canvas gig bag.
We recommend Bodhrán Basics by Steáfán Hannigan as an ideal tutorial companion to the 14” Tunable Rosewood Bodhrán

Great sounding bodhrán! This is a new instrument for me, never played bodhrán before but the quality of it is undeniable. Curious to see the changes in its character and in sound as the skin gets older and more used. Would like to see a different tuning system, maybe an Allen Ranch system or better quality tuners but this is purely personal and does not affect the bodhrán’s quality. This is a bodhrán that keeps me motivated to play/practice and I can’t imagine changing bodhrán because it’s quality suddenly is not good enough, it is definitely an instrument to keep!

size matters? Wish I had known a larger bodhran might have been easier to learn as a beginner - but am loving it anyway.

I love my Bodhran! I just love my bodhran! It was a birthday present and I’ve been playing it to traditional Irish music for practice. It’s beautifully made and the sound is magnificent! Thank you, Mr. McNeela, for your craftsmanship and artistry! God bless, Louise from the USA
