I beg to differ with that earlier thread. I have it on exceptionally good authority that these instruments have never, ever, had any role at all in, or any capacity for, reproduction.

Conversely, bodhrans originated (originally), and, indeed, were invented to be used as diaphragms by and for her royal highness Catherine The Great --- a role they filled admirably !

On the other hand, the banjo was invented to be an I.U.D. for this same person after she had her fouteenth unwanted child and her bodhran (which, after all, is only a banjo without a neck) proved to be not up to the task and the problem it had been devised to solve.

Bodhrans were not designed to prevent contraception from bull semen. That is why she started using the banjo!

I thought they were originally condrums for Alexander the Really Great. They eventually outlived their usefulness, got stiff and were mounted.

They have a great contraceptive history.

Bodhraneers almost never get laid.

Which is why they've developed the necessary wrist action.

I've heard that the heating up to make them tighter caused some phallic burning and so it was the gods rutted in great conflagrations leaving behind a scorched earth now known as the Mojave.

The bodhran players use them as contraceptives. Nobody will risk pregnancy resulting from a relationship with a bodhran player.

I have now, it seems, officially left the ranks of the trad curmudgeons and become one of the the BS-ers. As the bodhran pounder said after breaking his wrist, "If ya cannot beat 'em (any more), join 'em."

How come no one has pointed out how many bodhran players would be totally incompetent if they tried to use the "rhythm method"?

Jeri - The rumour that was current after Catherine the Great's death was that she was trying to fornicate with a stallion, not a bull, so it would have been equine not bovine semen. Anyway the story is not given any credence these days as the stallion completely denied it in interviews he gave to the "Sun", "News of the World", And "Daily Sport" later.

Bodhrans were originally used as sieves in the Irish Talcum Powder Industry.

In asking if the horse did, in fact, do it with her, they asked for a YEA or NAY answer. And the horse said, "NEIGH"

Well, when Big Mick saw my "Great Bodhran of Death" (26") at the Getaway, his first words were "Damn, you really are bigger, like you said". And then he looked down at my feet (size 12) and just whistled...

(At 5'8", my father used to say when I took off my shoes, I was half undressed...)
