Thread Name: Bodhran history???
Subject: RE: Help: Bodhran history???
My daughter has obtained the Plains Indian version for a movie shoot. More of a job to make them than you would think. Quite a job curing the hide, setting up the frame, fitting and stretching it on the frame, using properly prepared sinew, etc, etc. An Indian friend of hers at a nearby reserve makes good ones (of course called "hand drums" rather than tambour or bodhran or whatever).
