## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this bodhran tunable?**
A: Hi.  No, it is not.  (You can tune a non-tunable bodhran by inserting cardboard between the head and frame, but that is very unsatisfying.)

**Q: What kind of sound do these generaly make? Low and deep?**
A: "Open" (no hand touching the back of the skin) it is somewhat "low and deep". But, with a Bodhran you use your non stick hand to change the sounds by applying varying pressures to the backside of the skin while moving your hand around to get different sounds.

**Q: Where was it Made?**
A: This item and all our Bodhrans (TB-2, TB-3, TB-4 and TB-6) are made in Pakistan

**Q: How long is the tipper?  I have a small hand so I am looking for a 7" tipper.**
A: The tipper is about 8" (20. cm) long with the mid-portion about 5" (12 cm) long. I should tell you that, despite the name "Trinity College", it is actually made in Pakistan.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this Bodhran!
*by J***S on September 9, 2017*

The Trinity College Bodhran delivered, is different than the one illustrated with regards to its bracing. It was not X braced, but T braced. I ordered in the morning and received it in the evening (elapsed time order to delivery 10.5 hours.) Wow. Amazon came through with flying colors.This really a nice sounding Bodhran out of the box and the workmanship is quite good. I went for the green one. It's beautiful. The tipper is light and fast. For a $50.00 Bodhran this is a bargain. (I have a tipper that cost me more than this!) I am very pleased with this purchase. For the price range, 5 Stars!Update: I bought this a year ago and still play it all the time. I use a number of different tippers and also play this by hand as I would a frame drum. I have a couple of other bodhrans which are tuneable, but I tend to favor this one. For me, the 18" (actual 17 3/4") is a perfect size. I originally taped it, but removed the tape months ago. I love its range just the way it is. I don't pretend to be anything resembling an expert bodhran player, but as a longtime musician, I have come to really like this bodhran. It's a great instrument.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly well made.
*by C***S on July 26, 2024*

Given the very low price, I was reluctant to order this instrument. I was hoping for something at least serviceable enough to get me started. I was pleasantly surprised.The instrument I received is very well made. I could not ask for more in an instrument costing two or three times the price. Of particular note is the drum head itself which is practically flawless. I saw other product reviews where the skin used for the head was rough and erratic. Not so here.It is sturdy and has a fantastic sound. I am truly amazed and pleased.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for a beginner.
*by L***P on February 25, 2020*

This is for beginners. If you’re an experienced player, you won’t really care much for it I would imagine. However, due to its price, it’s perfect for novices. I love the color. The sound is okay, and you’ll want to upgrade to a better, heavier tipper.
