The bodhrán is made of a goatskin stretched over a wooden frame.

The word bodhrán is pronounced 'BOW-rawn', with the emphasis on the first syllable. It was used historically by the Irish forces as a battle drum. It provided a cadence for the pipers and warriors to keep to, as well as to announce the arrival of the army. It is the native drum of the Celts, with a musical history that predated Christianity.

My one here was brought over from my family in Ireland (I myself am Irish).

- 18 inches in diameter
- comes with a 'tipper' or the wooden stick you use to hit the drum. (In this photo, the bodhran is hanging on the wall. The tipper is sitting on top of the bodhran)
- this one was made by Waltons in Dublin, who are well-known and respected manufacturers of musical instruments.

You can check out some info about the drum here:

...and you can find a few decent videos with tutorials too. I like this lady here:

She provides decent lessons. Here she is, putting her bodhran through its paces:

Deliberately setting the deposit a bit high because this was a gift and therefore has sentimental value (I want to be sure we get it back!) :-)

We can do a handover either:

- from my home, Astoria Queens, 5 minute walk from Broadway Station (N or Q line)

OR

- Penn station/Madison Square Garden area of Manhattan where I work.
