Thread Name: Folklore: Tambourine?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Tambourine?
I don't think you can say that bodhran is its "correct" name. They were called tambourines then, and the recent coinage "bodhran" has spread throughout Ireland and beyond, but they were called tambourines before that, jingles or no jingles.It distorts history to try to send a modern word back into the past.
