Bodhran

bodhranOne of Ireland’s oldest products is the Bodhran (Irish Drum), pronounced ‘Bow-Rawn’ meaning deaf or haunting. It probably originated as a skin tray used on bogs cutting turf (peat). Guaranteed genuine Goatskin and native Irish Beech, the skin is also glued on. Most of the traditional musicians worldwide use our Bodhran which is hand-crafted with care in Connemara.
