Professional
Bodhrans
Now you can play the same bodhrans
the professionals do! We'd love to guarantee it'll improve your skill,
but we can guarantee that owning and playing one of the best bodhrans
in the world will make you a better player! Every one of these has been
designed by professional bodhran players—designed and built to be
everything the professional wants and needs in a bodhran. That means it's
everything you need, and more! Not only are they handcrafted in Ireland,
but our professional bodhrans are made from the best hand-built wood frames,
and the best hand-selected, extra-thick, heavy-duty goatskin heads. (Only
about 1 in 10 skins is good enough to make a pro-grade bodhran). Even
if you're not a pro (yet), pick up one of these professional-quality bodhrans
and you will notice the difference it makes in your own playing ability.

Waltons Pro Bodhran

in humidity and temperature than solid-wood frames. The 4-ply birch
frame is light and strong. Each bodhran is built with an extra-thick,
heavy-duty goatskin head, hand-carved cross-bar handle, and Celtic-embossed
leather band. The band is fastened by decorative brass tacks. Each
bodhran includes a tipper. Tuned the old-fashioned way, with a splash
of water.
