Handmade Natural Hide Frame Drums

Natural hide frame drums lend themselves to looking as close as we can get to what the original bodhran's looked like before the Celt's began using metal to hold them together.

They have a very earthy look to them even without any art on them and they are all laced by hand with the same kind of hide.

Please do be aware! These drums will require special care and are extremely sensitive to humidity and temperature. Click here for more information on how to care for a natural hide drum.

These drums are all custom made as ordered. You can easily procure one with a completely unique image created just for you by emailing The Bardic Artisan™ with either the harmony name or significance of the design you have in mind along with the size of drum you require. Click here for more information on how to select the right size.

Full descriptions of each drum are provided as well as details of special information on how custom design work was developed. For more information on the images to the left, just click on each image one at a time and you will be directed to a new page with all the details.

Be sure to check back frequently as more drums will be added as they are completed.
