Bodhrans


Click on Photos to enlarge


The Bodhran, (pronounced "BOW ron", rhymes with "COW ron") or Irish frame drum, is the heartbeat of traditional Irish music.  This ancient framedrum is traditionally made with a wooden body and a goat-skin head, and is played with a double-headed stick called a cipín, tipper, or beater.
