Vrdpkr, there is a shop in Prescot, "The Drum Shop", that sells bodhrans, but their selection is pretty limited.

Since you will have a differential in both altitude and humidity to deal with, make sure your maker knows this...he might be able to ship the drum with extra slack in the head, and it will be nice and tight when it gets to you. If not, make sure it is tunable, and shipped with the pegs loose. You can wet it, with water or Bad Brown Beer (aka Guinness) to remove the tinny tone of a tight drum, but whatever you do, don't overdo this...it will split right in half when it drys again. (A former Prescott voice of experience.)
