At first I was not super happy with it, but as I’ve learnt to play and tried other bodhrans, I understood it’s surprisingly competitive with more expensive beginner bodhrans. It produces a wide range of tones with its thin & well-polished skin, has a very deep bass when tuned low, and is quite sturdy. The crossbars start to get in the way at some point but I heard you can cut them off (not tried yet). Mine is actually smaller than 14”, more like 35 cm — this is a bit too small for my hands but not a big deal overall. Totally recommend getting this as your first bodhran (and then leaving it as a backup when you upgrade to a handmade instrument); the price-quality ration feels unmatched!
