In focus: History

In my new little series "In Focus" I present articles and pages on my meanwhile extensive (and constantly growing!) website in infrequent intervals.

Today the history of the bodhrán. My article takes you to the beginnings of the bodhrán, as far as it is known, highlights some aspects that you don't often read about, and then tries to bridge the gap to our time. I can promise you: It's an exciting journey! This way:

In Focus:
ClickMo

Today the focus is on the ClickMo. The ClickMo model focuses more on creating a more dynamic sound. Therefore, this tipper is ideally suited for soft playing (very little click) as well as for powerful, dynamic playing. The relatively large playing area of the tipper, combined with the unique individual sound of the flanks ensures a full rounded tone and stimulates a variety of natural vibrations. Due to its light design, the tipper can be used with little or no exertion.

In this time, reviews of shops and websites are becoming more and more important. Many of you are long-time, hopefully happy customers. I would therefore like to ask you to rate bodhran-info once on the two portals where I collect reviews. These can be found here at Shopvote:
