    5.0 out of 5 stars Looks and sounds great
    Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    The bodhran arrived promptly. It looks great, and the sound is very nice right out of the box. Tuning mechanism works just fine. The T-bar gets a little bit in the way for seated playing, if you like to have your whole hand against the skin, but it's manageable. The T-bar does allow you to play standing up, which I quite like: you just put your fingertips against the skin, nestle your wrist in an intersection of the T, and cradle the drum against your torso. The tipper is fine but slips a bit in my grip, so I've added some tennis handle wrap to it. Works great now.

    Update after playing 6 months: love this, definitely don't regret buying it. Lots of fun, still sounds great, and my arm and hand are used to wedging in comfortably at the right angle under the t-bar to get the different muffling and pitch-bending effects. I've also bought another tipper that's lighter and has notches for grip. Also a drum brush for the brushing sound. Point is, this is a good, durable, versatile-sounding bodhran for the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars It's a hundred-dollar Bodhran. A GOOD hundred-dollar Bodhran.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I don't know how else to say it. It is built solidly and has a good tone. The tipper included with it is very light but makes a nice alternative to my hardwood tipper. The skin...well, I didn't buy it for the looks. I have to say that must have been a very unhappy goat in life. There should be mottling and variation but this just looked sad; grey spots, spots so thin you can almost see through them. And some sort of varnish so hap-hazardly applied it completely missed a full fifth of the skin.

    Now, I am not an experienced Bodhran player. But I have been around. So within the first hour of owning it I sat down with some 220-grit and took the worst of the roughness and the I-don't-know-what-they-were-thinking varnish off. Then wiped it a bunch to work skin oils (from my skin, not that of the poor goat) into it. Which made it much more playable, took the tipper scratch almost completely out, and improved the looks quite a lot too.

    Here's the thing. It is a budget Bodhran. I got it from Roosebeck because I refuse to humor anyone calling themselves "Trinity College" unless they are actually in Dublin. And it isn't a Walton (who apparently make a good Bodhran but not a good cheap Bodhran.) So it is five stars because despite the sad skin and the work I needed to put in to make it playable, that is what you should expect at that price point.

    Oh, and because Amazon has no clue and lumps every size, every variation into the same review stack to make it look like people are actually, you know, reviewing, this is the 18" x 3.5" tuneable with black frame and t-bar. I find the t-bar works just fine for either hand-on-skin or hand-wedged-under-crosspiece holds. The cut-out makes it more comfortable but I wouldn't care if it wasn't there. At 3.5" it is a wee shallow for excellent tone but with the allen-key tuners I can quickly dial it up to a nice boom that isn't so low it makes the head all flabby and I'm glad I stuck with 18" instead of being tempted by the lower prices on a 16" or (shudder) 14".

    5.0 out of 5 stars VERY nice drum
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I had hoped this item would be as advertised and pictured... but had not hoped for such because so many things are hyped and Photoshopped these days.

    NOT DISAPPOINTED AT ALL. This is a ***superb*** bodhran. I don't know how it would compare with a $1000 drum... but it is easily the equal of drums 2-3 times its cost.

    This is one of those rare instances of a quality product at a reasonable (even low, relatively speaking) price. While it costs about double what a "thumbtack" version would cost... the quality of manufacture, the fact that it's tunable, the beautifully lacquered black wood body and the nicely-toned goatskin head makes this my latest price-and-joy acquisition.

    I know this sounds like a PR hype. I don't work for the company, first time I've ever dealt with them, but really... what a VERY nice item. I am quite pleased with this purchase.

    As a note: I also purchased with this item a case and tipper as follows, and am pleased with all three purchases. The tipper especially was a surprise, nicely finished and balanced better than any other I have used, and the case a very sturdy nylon (nothing cheap about it):

    I ordered this drum along with a tipper and drum case all on the same date. The tipper and case arrived a full week before the drum did. Thats why I gave it a 4 star rating. Other than that I love the drum. Its tunable and sturdy. Real skin for the head (even has a bit of hair still on the skin). Couldnt be happier with it!

    We intiially got a bodhran for around $70 and it was just a pile of garbage right out of the box. We upgraded the few extra dollars and got this drum as a replacement and we've never looked back. I use this in our traditional Irish band I play in, and it's been fabulous. Durable, well constructed, good sound, great starter drum. It's a little larger than some drums, fyi, but it's still well within the standard sizing. Would definitely recommend, enjoy!
