Traditional Irish Celtic Bodhran 12 Inch Handmade in Ireland by Paraic McNeela Includes Beater and Beginners Tutorial DVD

This beautifully crafted 12 inch traditional Irish Celtic bodhran is handmade in Ireland by respected Dublin bodhran maker Paraic McNeela. The set includes the bodhran, a traditional beater and a beginners instructional DVD, providing everything needed to start learning this distinctive Irish percussion instrument. Paraic McNeela has been making bodhrans since the late 1970s and has built a reputation for traditional craftsmanship and carefully produced instruments. His bodhrans are individually made rather than mass produced, with particular attention paid to the frame, skin and finished sound. A bodhran is the traditional Irish frame drum widely used in Irish and Celtic music. Paraic believes a good bodhran should produce a strong, deep bass tone, and his instruments are designed with this traditional sound in mind. Over the years, Paraic has supplied and made bodhrans for professional musicians as well as beginners and enthusiasts around the world. The attractive Celtic artwork makes this instrument as visually distinctive as it is musical. Please note that because designs can vary from time to time, the exact decorative motif supplied may differ slightly from the one shown in the photographs.
