The
bodhran, pronounced bow-rawn or boran, is an ancient
single-headed frame drum.
Although variants of this design are found in many cultures, the bodhran
is usually associated with Irish music.
That said, the bodhran is now used to good effect in many different
musical styles and has come to be recognised as a versatile musical
instrument.
