Product Highlights
Built for a Bigger Sound
The deep rim gives this bodhrán a noticeably fuller and more powerful bass response. It adds weight and depth to your playing, helping you cut through in a session without needing to overplay.Paired with the edge-taped red cedar frame, the result is a warm, rounded tone that feels controlled and musical across a wide dynamic range.
