GUEST,Rich(stupidbodhranplayerwhodoesn'tknowanybet My Bodhran is too tight (110* d) RE: My Bodhran is too thight 24 Feb 00


Better off tochange the humidity in the room if you can. Myself, I have a tuneable 14" Albert Alfonso bodhran from Dallas, TX (just where you'd expect to find a good Irish drum), and I have yet to find a room dry enough to render it unplayable. Margarita, if you're serious about the bodhran, Albert's the way to go but he's expensive ($390+s&h), so I would recommend him as a "just to see if I like it" drum. You can find him through celticmusic.com. His website includes pictures, testimonials from everyone from Mark Stone to Tommy Hayes to Johnny McDonagh himself! You will like the drum he sends you. Be warned you'l be on the phone with him alot longer than you plan to, he's a real character. If you have any more ?? you can reach me at rrayburg@hotmail.com Rich
