Bodhran Tippers

Bodhran Tippers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Each one is a custom piece that reflects the drummers style. These hardwood tippers range in length from 6.5 inches to 9.5 inches. They weigh between 25 grams and 50 grams based on the wood used. The end of the tipper can be bell shaped, tapered, tear-drop or straight separated by a shaft that can be smooth or ridged. Additional weight can be inserted into the both ends of the tipper when requested at time of order.

Here are some examples of tippers I have created:
