Imported. These drums are hand-crafted by an Irish master drum maker steeped in the Bard and Celtic traditions. This authentic Irish Bodhran (pronounced bough-ron) was made specifically for Plunkett Percussion’s Aaron Plunkett, the Irish percussionist as heard in the epic film TITANIC. “This is one of the finest sounding Irish Bodhrans available,” says Aaron. “I spent months traveling Ireland in search of master instrument makers.” We are now making it available to you! Artwork and craftsmanship at its best! This is truly a spectacular drum! Each Plunkett Percussion instrument is a completely customized one-of-a-kind. The drum is constructed from a laminated, light, wood frame with a reinforced crossbar and a precision-bearing edge for maximum resonance response from the skin. The head is a natural Irish goatskin. It is prepared using an ancient Celtic recipe. It is not milled, cut or planed. It provides sound like no other. The one shown here is 16” with custom artwork and partial hair left on the skin. Styles come in 14”, 14” tuneable and 16”. The customer may choose customizing with Celtic artwork from the Book of Kells, and/or partial hair left on the skin. These custom choices are individually priced and the cost of each choice is added to the overall cost of the drum.
