Musicians

Some musicians who play my bodhrans have been kind enough to give their comments.

The photos were taken around the world.

I am very happy with the 2 new bodhrans. The 45 double skin has great tones and bass. The 40 double has great tops and I still get a good bass. I have played them in different climates and situations and have never been disappointed.

I find Brendan's bodhrans very reliable in terms of construction and tone. I would highly recommend them.

They sound great, get better as they get older, and last a life time. Notice the way he holds the tipper

Brendan White bodhrans are instruments of outstanding quality. Their appearance and craftsmanship, sturdy tuning mechanism, deep resonance and rich tone are absolutely exquisite, and they produce a wider range of sounds than most bodhrans. You can also expect caring and excellent service from Brendan. I am happy to recommend them to anyone.

Brendan's Bodhrans are the Business! I have a Triple skin and it sounds great in the studio! His single skin drums are Fabulous. I've had the pleasure of playing a few and they POP!'

I am the proud owner of 3 Brendan White bodhrans. Each is unique in sound and each is of great quality. My favourite at the moment is a single skin tuneable bodhran that I got from Brendan about a year and a half ago at the folk festival in Gooik in Belgium. I had no intention of getting a new drum but fell in love with it as soon as I picked it up to mess about on it. It literally sings while you are playing it, has a great acoustic sound and amplifies really well.
I am a proud user of Brendan's bodhran's at all of my concerts and sessions

Have been playing Brendan White's bodhrans for a long time. Have
played others too, but always come back to my favourite B.W. tuneable
double skin 45 x 12 cm. It still sounds great after years of giving
it stick on tour, in the studio, and in sessions....
