Bodhran has long been a symbol of Irish music and culture. His story dates back to centuries, with a story telling its use in the Irish Rebellion of 1603 as a war drum. More recently it has been modified and changed in its style and design, now becoming a famous and internationally recognisable instrument. This item uses ancient Celtic designs, now created and manufactured as a Bodhran for decoration or use. It comes with a "X" bar on the back and the dumper is included. Suitable for beginners and professionals.
