Size
The 16” bodhrán is our best selling size. 16 inches is a great all-rounder size suiting both petite players and larger players without compromising on the McNeela signature lush bass sound. The 5 inch rim depth produces a deep bass tone with great volume potential.

Performance
Adjust tuning with lightning speed to respond to performance requirements for when you need your bodhrán to match pitch, volume and tone. With the wide spread of tonal options available you can offer a subtle accompaniment in quieter session spaces and a full resonating bass in concert settings.

Hand Tuning System
Our hand tuning system means you can adjust your bodhrán without interrupting your performance; the tuners are easy to grip and super fast to tune. Environmental conditions can be conquered with a quick turn of the hand so you can play all night without worrying about humidity or temperature.

Goatskin
Each goatskin is hand-selected for quality, responsiveness and sustain. This is a natural product and each skin will be unique to your bodhrán, waiting for you to explore its myriad properties. We recommend treating your skin with DrumDiddly bodhrán conditioning cream to keep it in optimum condition.

Limited Edition Green
This Limited Edition 16” Performance Bodhrán is finished in a rich emerald green with an attractive matt sheen beautifully accented by the solid brass fittings.

Review of the McNeela 16” Deep Rim Performance Bodhrán

I am delighted with this bodhrán review from Jim Woods when I was first testing the New Performance Bodhrán range, I'd personally say Jim is one of the best bodhrán players in the world, so for him to send me this video really made my day. Check out the video below and listen to that beat!

The Performance is something I am very proud of. I believe I have created a knockout and I am thrilled at the reviews I have received so far. When handcrafting new bodhráns I always think of the player's needs and wants, my main focus is to create a bodhrán which is easy and enjoyable to play and tune, and it must produce an outstanding sound. I am satisfied and delighted that the Performance provides this.
