Thread Name: Traditional Irish Didgeridoo
Subject: RE: Traditional Irish Didgeridoo
The Bodhran is proven to be 8000 years old.
The problem with Irish nonsense about the Bodhran is the pretence it's somehow an Irish instrument different from all the identical drums used worldwide.
as for its recent renaissance in Ireland and stick playing style, this seems to have originated in entirely in England as an identically played English drum called the Riddle Drum predates it by decades.
