MEINL Percussion - Irish Bodhran - FD14IBO

MEINL Percussion - Irish Bodhran - FD14IBO

The Irish Bodhran features an extra-deep shell for a rich, full sound, and an extra dampening layer on the rim to reduce overtones. The traditional cross-brace has been removed to enable direct hand pressure on the head for contemporary pitch-bending techniques.

Go to the product website:

The instrument in this video is played by MEINL Artist Nora Thiele.

This fuckin gave me the fuckin chills, Im sorry if I won't give constructive criticism to you like the guy down here but
fuck that sounds so fuckin bad

the bodhran its ok, its good but is like she was taking in her hand this instrument for the first time and fuck it sounds bad

[frankinmouse]

Maybe get an actual bodhran player to demonstrate the drum next time.

I own one of your Bodhrans. I think they are very good for beginners and People who are interested to learn a bit of Irish Folk.
But you should really get someone who can actually play the Bodhran for your Demo. This just sounds bad...
Just some constructive criticism :)

[MMough]

This next song is called, "Bodhran player having a stroke mid session and nobody has figured it out yet"

[voiceof]

Irish person here. This is excruciating to watch, please take it down

[Merfolk]

I’m ready to play on this bodhran for you, please write to me 😅

[daithidegeata]

I actually gave up the bodhrán after seeing this

[gardonyeru]

Please post a video with less manipulated audio, and WITH A BODHRÁN PLAYER! (I am sure she's a great percussionist but please...) In my humble opinion it is heavily EQ-d. In reality, unfortunately, this bodhrán does not have such a bass... hopefully a few months of playing in can help. The tuning threads seem a bit weak. And please, put the logo on the frame, not on the skin :) But I still think this is the best tuneable bodhrán for beginners.

Nora's speciality clearly involves some other percussion instrument, not bodhran: no disrespect intended.

This is a very poor demo, which is unfortunate as the 14" Meinl is actually significantly better than most of what's available in this price range. You're doing your product a disservice.

It's like putting an ugly-af photo of yourself on a dating site.

Jesus Christ!! Get someone who can actually play to demonstrate the Bodhran!! You need to take this down. It doesnt make your product or brand look or sound good.

[jakubkub]

That is not how you play the instrument at all. I own a McNeela Wave bodhrán (top quality stuff) but I also have this one - it was my first. It is actually quite good for beginners and can sound very decent. But please reupload the demo and find a good bodhrán player

[jpeood]

I love the base sound of your drum. I’m also new to this drum. Do you mind sharing with me what make and size of drum you were using? It really appeals to me. Thank you.

Nora, please have this video removed. You're bodhran playing is not yet performance ready. Please play a nice solo on the riq for us to forget this video. Meinl, do your business a favor and hire a good bodhran player.

[iwtyh]

Dreadful Bodhran solo. Get someone who can fucking play

[FrizzyDiouleBiGbonus]

La vidéo est beaucoup trop courte, et elle ne joue pas assez pour se faire une réelle idée de l'instrument

[brewzdude]

WOW, these comments are brutal, it's a 28 second video, WTF are you expecting. I didn't come here to critique Nora's ability, she did just fine, with the 28 seconds she had and I did get a sense of how deep the sound is. It would have been nice if Meinl had 5 minute demonstration with samples of different tippers, maybe it's hard to polish a turd.
