Listing all of them would take a while, but some makers have more of a web presence than others. There are many, many bodhran makers out there. The above link is to their US store they have a UK store as well. They also have some good tunable Waltons bodhrans for sale. While the “Glenluce” brand they carry is one of the cheaper mass-produced brands, they carry bodhrans by Michael Vignoles and Russell Buckmaster (Bridget Bodhrans). Hobgoblin specializes in folk instruments, and has many bodhrans for sale. All are available on Amazon, and if you do a lot of shopping there already (or are a Prime member), the convenience factor is big. Also, some of Walton’s cheaper bodhrans aren’t great, but their tunable 16″ model is fairly good. Meinl and Remo are both well-known for their other drums, but make very good tunable bodhrans. But there are also a few good ones, if you know what to look for. AmazonĪmazon has a lot of cheap and, quite frankly, bad bodhrans for sale. But if you want to actually play an instrument, look elsewhere. Some of the designs do look pretty cool, and they work great as decorations. If you’re looking for a wall hanging or a souvenir, by all means buy one.
Chiff and fipple whistle makers skin#
The skin isn’t dyed or imbued with ink, it’s just painted over with paint that can and will flake off. But the main problem is just that they’re cheaply mass-produced from inferior materials.Īnd while they may look great now, think about what a year or two of regular playing will do to the paint. For one thing, they are usually not tunable, and the skin is usually not tensioned correctly. They may look nice, but by and large, they don’t play well. It seems like every tourist shop in Ireland has at least a few of these lying around, and they’re all over Amazon, eBay, etc. You will often see bodhrans for sale with various designs painted on the head.
