18" BODHRAN IRISH STYLE TUNABLE GOATSKIN DRUM HEAD w/ TIPPER

Description

Although most common in Ireland, the bodhran (pronounced bo-ran) has gained popularity throughout the Celtic music world, especially in Scotland. The drum is struck with the other arm (usually the right) and is played either with the bare hand or with a lathe-turned piece of wood called a "bone", "tipper", "beater", or "cipin". This drum has Double fixed crossbars. Bolt tuning is hidden on the inside of the frame. Expect variations from photo in the color, tone and markings of the natural drum skins.
There are numerous playing styles, mostly named after the region of Ireland in which they originated. The most common is Kerry style, which uses a two-headed tipper; the West Limerick style uses only one end of the tipper.
