Any bodhran players?

[BigBear]

You will want synthetic on a beginner instrument in Colorado with our variables... unless you plan on baby-ing the crap out of it with natural skins. For this type of instrument, unless you're advanced enough to drop the money on a pro-level bodhran, almost anything will do to learn. Anyways, get in touch with the Pikes Peak Highlanders and they'll put you in touch with someone to answer your questions in depth.

Also, don't use Amazon for instruments... they sale (always exceptions) mostly ISO's (Instrument shaped objects). I am a fan of Steve Weiss Music Co and he has a great bodhran for a decent price: http://www.steveweissmusic.com/produ...sh-bodhran-14/
