Most of the professional folk Musicians worldwide use our Bodhran; we are the only full time makers in the world. The skins are treated in hydrated lime mixed with ingredients that are the closely guarded secret of every Bodhran Maker. They are soaked for days in a solution of lime sulphide which softens the skins, de-hairs it and dissolves the fatty tissue.
Sometimes the skin is buried in manure. It is finally stretched under tension onto a Birch frame. It is also glued on — this is important for Bodhrans being sent abroad.
The skin is stretched tight when new to give room for residual stretch. In the hands of a skilled player the Bodhran can be a subtle and exciting instrument — striking the skin in a variety of ways, one hand tucked in behind the skin, pressing the moving to vary the colour and intensity of the sound. A Bodhran is a lifetime purchase — do buy a well made one!
