Product Highlights
Built for a Bigger Sound
The deep rim gives this bodhrán a noticeably fuller and more powerful bass response. It adds weight and depth to your playing, helping you cut through in a session without needing to overplay.
Paired with the edge-taped red cedar frame, the result is a warm, rounded tone that feels controlled and musical across a wide dynamic range.

Limited Edition 16" Cedarwood Bodhrán Set
Yes, I absolutely love this bodhran. And the complete package is astounding -- the carry case and tippers are exceptionally well made. It's truly an all-inclusive package that catapulted me into ready-to-play anytime, anywhere in an instant. The cedar wood is warm and visually stunning, too. The only caveat I recommend is to mind the diameter of the drum you choose. I purchased this one knowing it's a bit smaller. This alters some of the tones and effects you expect to play on a bodhran; and it requires a bit of adjustment in, for example, playing triplets as the face of the drum provides less total room than a larger diameter drum. For me, I valued portability and the flexibility of incorporating this bodhran into my total percussion kit. For a drummer who's playing the bodhran as their primary instrument, I'd recommend trying out *both* this drum and a larger one. You've got to find the fit and feel that suits *you.* For me, this one is *perfect.*
