    Default Bodhran

    I've never used it - just can't get the technique right, it was newly skinned with proper goat when I bought it. Comes with a Yew wood beater. It has a cross piece. I can Email photos.
    Forty five quid?

    Its an Irish drum, the one I nearly baught was about 15" diameter, with celtic symbols around the wood.

    Looks a bit like a large tambourine without the cymbals.

    Its quite a knack to play properly.

    You know how rock musicians make jokes about drummers?

    You should hear some of the ones Bodhran palyers that the folkies bandy about....

    Can't think of a single one that's going to get past the moderators...
