Description

The Meinl Percussion FDT5 Bodhrรกn Tipper is a special design created in collaboration with renowned bodhrรกn player Thรณrralf Schuh. Crafted from African wood for durability and balance, this tipper incorporates leather whips at the ends, allowing players to create unique textures and rhythmic effects beyond the traditional wooden beater sound.

The leather whips add a soft, textured quality to each strike, expanding the tonal palette of the bodhrรกn while still delivering the warm, natural tone expected from a wooden tipper. Its comfortable shape and balanced weight make it easy to handle, giving both beginners and advanced players control over dynamics and expression.

Perfect for traditional Irish rhythms as well as more experimental playing, the Meinl FDT5 is a versatile and creative tool for percussionists looking to expand their bodhrรกn sound.
