The 18 inch Bodhran by Glenluce

The Glenluce Bodhran (18 inch) is a hand-held Irish frame drum rooted in Celtic musical tradition.
It produces a deep, resonant tone that makes it a staple in folk ensembles, sessions, and solo percussion playing.
Crafted with a goatskin head stretched over a wooden frame, this 18-inch version offers a larger surface and fuller low-end response compared with smaller sizes, making it great for rhythm accompaniment and expressive playing.
The open-back design allows the player to adjust pitch and tone by varying hand pressure inside the shell.
Glenluce instruments are known as solid, beginner-friendly bodhráns with traditional construction and natural materials perfect for learners and casual performers. A beater (tipper) is typically included so you can begin playing right away.
