Thanks everyone!
   The Bodhran I just bought is a tunable version and I believe it is a goat skin head. I couldn't tell you who made it. I bought it at a Celtic festival here in Syracuse NY last weekend and paid $47.00 for it. I bought a bottle of oil for it but haven't used it. Since I do plan on playing it the skin will stay pristine (Unpainted)
   Jack, I do know what a fada is and my computer is equiped to do them but not on line. Nice to know I can use my hand as well as the cipin, This could be very interesting. Again thanks everyone and have a splendid weekend! Kindest regards, Neil
