The Rosewood Spoons
“These spoons are brilliantly crafted and make an ideal ornament.” - Alan P. We've been using spoons as a musical instrument for more than 3,000 years.   And they made their way into American folk music with the arrival of immigrants from Africa and Ireland, in the 18th and 19th centuries.
These particular bodhrán spoons are crafted from sturdy rosewood, which produces a dark, warm tone with a complex and satisfying bass. These bodhrán spoons are joined at the base which makes them easier to hold and play. Suitable for both beginners and advanced players.   ESTIMATED SHIPPING TIMES:  IRELAND (Next Day) UK (5 - 7 days) EUROPE (7 days) USA and CANADA (7 - 10 days) REST OF WORLD (10 - 14 days)

I highly recommend watching a random tutorial on YouTube before trying to play these spoons, just so you know how they work (so they don't get broken before you know what you're doing), and how to do the basic tricks. I think they are lovely, have a nice resonant tone, and are a great conversation starter. My grandkids think they are super cool!

What a great addition to my collection! The sound is pleasing and the wood is beautiful. I am no expert at playing them, but even so they sound great! Excellent teaching tool for rhythm, making it very obvious how to count 1&2& etc. The grandkids love them too!

This makes it very easy to play because there is no drift of the spoons, also the wood makes a more please sound than do metal spoons. It's much closer to the sound of bones.

Best sounding spoons, easy to play! What a clever design! Almost like castanets, and sort of in between traditional (my personal reference would be Appalachian vs. Irish) and something akin to spoons that are used in other musical traditions around the world, making this one an all-purpose solution. Rosewood ended up being a great wood choice as well. Very warm, with just the right amount of resonance.
