Introducing our new 16” bodhrán. It’s made from rosewood, which is a particularly resonant tonewood, and it has an extra deep rim of 5 ½ inches.
But because it’s a non-tuneable bodhrán, it’s that little bit easier to pick up and play, and comes at a more affordable price.
It’s made with hand-stretched, sustainably sourced goatskin, and comes with its own hardwood beater. And the rim is taped around its edges.
All of Paraic’s bodhráns are taped around the edges as this extends the instrument’s harmonic range and gives your bodhrán that distinctive bass sound that’s so particular to traditional Irish music.
And the combination of the deeper 5 ½ inch rim and the fact that it’s crafted from rosewood gives this bodhrán its strong, deep bass tones, and a really impressive sustain.
This is a beautifully made, quality bodhrán at an affordable, entry-level price.
