Irish Drum Bodhran For Sale
An outstanding bodhran will produce a deep and pleasant tone when played correctly. Bodhrans are circular frame drums played using either hands or sticks for playback.
Thin lambeg skins were an innovation in bodhran playing as they allowed for higher and lower crisp notes, as well as making players more musical and delicate. Furthermore, these skins lessened atmospheric conditions’ influence on tuning.
