Wanted to let you know that I received by Bodhran - I showed it to one of my Irish musician friends and he was very impressed with the tone.. .I can't wait for Christmas morning! (btn8r)

 Tuning a Tunable Bodhran
Whether you have an outside tunable bodhran, as pictured, or an inside tunable bodhran, here are some tuning hints.
There are eight lugs for tuning. You tighten or loosen them to create higher or deeper sounds, respectively. But you do not start with one lug and then proceed in a circular pattern until you have "gone around the clock"! This tuning process is similar to tightening lug nuts on an automobile's wheels. If you tighten them all in a row, rather than by criss-crossing, the wheel on your car will be crooked and wear unevenly and handle even worse.
Tighten down one lug, then cross over to the opposite side of the bodhran and tighten that lug. Do not tighten to the point where you begin to hear the nasty sound of wood cracking. Tighten a little and when you have done all eight (8) lugs, check your sound. If you like it, leave it, and if not, then either loosen the lugs to deepen the sound or tighten further.
When you have a question about an instrument, please let us know at CelticRenMusic@live.com

I've wanted a bodhran for years, and I was suddenly inspired the other day to just stop wishing and get one. Your website is great, with lots of choices, package deals, and the prices up front. I looked at quite a few sites before making my decision, and I really feel yours is the best, hands down!

Remember...we do not ship any products, including bodhrans, already tuned. When you tune your bodhran for the first time, start by tightening the screws by the opposite companion screw. Thus, partly tighten the screw at the 3 O'clock position, then the screw at the 9 O'clock position. Then do the 12o'Clock and the 6 O'clock, until you have tightened all of them a little bit. Then proceed to finish tuning.
Goatskin heads are a product of nature. They vary in color and texture. Some parts may even be a bit transparent. Others heads might look almost uniform, though unlikley. Some models have whitewashed goatskin heads, mostly Michael Vignoles models. Part of what makes a bodhran look authentic is the obvious nature that the head is natural. We do Not sell bodhrans with Synthetic heads. Synthetic heads do not sound as good and they look manufactured.
Goatskin is the most expensive choice for the head and the most suitable choice too. Variations in both texture and thickness allow differences in tone across the playing surface which produces desireable effects. Plastic heads cannot do that. Avoid plastic or synthetic bodhran heads at all costs!

Not all goats are created equal!
Goatskin heads vary from drum to drum and within each skin as well. Portions may have freckles, or somewhat transparent spots.
Goatskin heads that are treated so they are a uniform white in appearance will have a slightly compromised life as the chemicals rob the skin of its natural flexibility. From time to time
treat the underside of the goatskin with a good leather conditioner...but do not overdo it.
When traveling, loosen the screws to remove pressure from the goatskin. Sometimes the inner ring will then slip...not a problem...just loosen all the screws to the point where you can
freely rotate the inner ring so the steel 'stops' more or less align with the tightening screws.
And remember to use a cross pattern when tightening...same as with the lug nuts on your car.
