Meinl Percussion FD14IBO Irish Bodhran Hand Drum with Goat Head, Brown Burl
Bodhrans are known for their earthy and warm tones.  MEINL offers two different versions, a Celtic model featuring a cross bar and an Irish model that comes with an extra deep frame and a dempening layer on the head.  The Irish Bodhran features an extra deep shell for a rich, full sound, and an extra dampening layer on the rim to reduce overtones. The traditional cross brace has been removed to enable direct hand pressure on the head for contemporary pitch-bending techniques.  MEINL hand selected goat heads deliver warm tones with a well balanced sustain.  These instruments have a beautifully finished, extra deep Rubber Wood resonating rim that allows for low end and pitch to develop and project, creating a very musical sound.
