Cooperman Deep Shell Bodhran 14" Cooperman created this deep shell bodhran in response to the evolving playing styles of today’s most progressive percussionists. An exceptionally deep, solid, single ply shell, a finely finished calfskin head, and a steep bearing edge, work together to produce a warm deep tone with a wide range of flexibility. Excellent for mic’ing and recording, the controlled overtones and full range of this drum, from crisp high notes to punchy bass tones, bring this instrument into the mix without being abrasive. The edge of the head is secured into an exterior groove, which is then covered with a colored knit cord. We designed this self-locking system to minimize the tendency the head to pull away from the shell.

This model is available with concert-grade calfskin head, goatskin, or REMO synthetic head. The head may be taped to enhance overtone control.

Our patented internal tuning technology preserves the traditional appearance of the instrument and allows the player to maintain a complete range of motion, unencumbered by external hardware. Tension on the head is adjusted by the action of an internal, lightweight, moveable bearing member. A T-handle Allen wrench and tuning instructions are included.

Our arm cut-out, an arch design, with softly rolled edges, allows for comfortable access to the underside of the head; there is no crosspiece handle.

A hand-rubbed, natural finish accentuated the beauty of the wood.
A soft padded carrying bag is included )
