roundstone music and museum

One of Ireland's oldest products is the Bodhran (Irish Drum), pronounced 'Bow-rawn' meaning deaf or hunting. It probably originated as a skin tray used on bogs cutting turf (peat). Guaranteed genuine Goatskin and native Irish Beech, the skin is also glued on. Most of the traditional musicians world wide use our Bodhran which is hand-crafted with care in Connemara. Treatment wax / hardwood beater included. Visitors welcome to workshop.
