Thread Name: Flight cases for Bodhrans!!
Subject: RE: Flight cases for Bodhrans!!
I have just stumbled onto this old thread. If anyone still reads them then I can certainly recommend my bodhran case.
I wanted something more durable and offering protection to my beautiful new bodhran. I bought a case from a manufacturer of drum cases, 'Hardcase', which is a drumcase for a sidedrum. The company do a case for bodhrans but it was more expensive and the only difference between that and the one I bought was a little clip for your tipper in the lid. As I have a collection of tippers one holder didn't seem of any interest. I play in a band and as we throw equipment into the back of our car when going to gigs I wanted a really durable hard case and I have been really pleased with the one I bought. It is made from very hard ridged plastic and fastens with 3 rucksack style clips. It had a lifetime guarantee! It cost £42.00 which was double the price of a nylon bag but I think it is worth twice the price to give your bodhran good protection when travelling.
Good Luck!
