Bodhran, the Irish pan drum
The bodhran is played
by holding the crosspiece in back and hitting the bodhran's drum head with a
double-headed beater;
Also, it can be played with just your hand. Our bodhrans have 16" or 18"
diameter heads
Goatskin heads can be tuned either by the light application of water (which
lowers pitch)
or by drying the head with a hair dryer (which raises pitch).
