My family and I from Canada were camping through Ireland about 8 summers ago. We came to your studio/house to buy a Bodhran. Your grandsons were there visiting, and my children still remember your wife’s comments about how much work they were and it was about time for them to go home. Anyway, after much debate-and a little talk about the beautiful lures you were also making-and two visits, we bought my a Bodhran and two tippers you had made. I was a beginner, but my wife carried the Bodhran on her lap in our small rental car the rest of the trip, and I practiced in the campgrounds, and took it to pubs through Ireland to play along. Today, I still enjoy your wonderful instrument, and use it regularly during choir concerts and Ceilidhs. Thank you for your craftsmanship and kindness. You signed the inside of the drum on the skin upon my request, but it has pretty much disappeared now. Tha t was a longer than expected note,but I. Wanted you to know your work is being used, and not just sitting in a cupboard here in Canada. I am a pianist, and take the Bodhran with me to play in the hotel after a days work when I’m travelling. Thank you. Hope you’re well.
