Subject: RE: bodhran
Mike Try a search 'Bodhran Page', there's a great list of makers & links to them.If you're looking for a good one & don't mind paying for what you want I would suggest checking Mance Grady on that page. I own 2 of his drums, the 1st is now about 14 yrs old & is is in the hands of my 2 kids, my 2nd is one with Mance's sliding bar grip, the backside of my hand no longer blisters & is great for hand slapping on the drums inside, he also has a tuning ring that I don't see how I could've gone without all these yrs. His drums, I would say, are the best I've ever played & his quality is the most consistent of any drum maker I've seen. His bodhran tape is a must for any drummer (he is also a great drummer). Barry
