The McNeela Wave Bodhrán in Action | Conor Lyons’ Expert Review

We’re so glad to have renowned musician Conor Lyons back in the studio with us today reviewing our McNeela Wave Bodhrán. This exceptional instrument is designed with intermediate to advanced players in mind, combining innovation and craftsmanship to create a truly unique instrument. With a choice of two premium skins; Vellum for deep, resonant, warm tones, or Lambeg Goatskin for bright, melodic tones with added volume—this bodhrán offers unparalleled versatility. Our innovative 8-point hand-tuning system ensures precision and flexibility, while the option for a doubled-up goatskin delivers even richer tones. Its signature Wave-pattern rim design allows players to adjust the pitch of the drum with different hand positions, unlocking a whole new level of playing. Not only does it sound incredible, but its stunning design ensures it looks the part too! Interested in picking one up for yourself?
