 PiperKev:You scared me for a minute there, Sarah!! I was wondering just WHAT you were putting out there for Mike to see!!! ;-D
KEV!!  This is the same bodhran bag I mentioned earlier. I use this one for my tunable: 18.5" Superior Bodhran Bag (19 avail) ETA: There are actually a BUNCH of gigbags out on ebay at the moment. I've never seen so many or such a variety! There is even a TWEED one! *L* And this drum (16" tunable - 12 avail) looks worth considering. And the seller has a 100% positive rating on over 200 transactions!

Hey guys, Don't forget about regular drum kit drum bags/cases. The bag I have for my bodhran is a 16 inch tom bag. It was $50. Might be worth checking out .... here's a picture of the bag with my drum (great quality bag for not so much money.![]()  " />

Well Mike seemed to be looking for fa unctional starter... competent but reasonably priced. It seems most people aren't interested in dropping a few hundred on a drum and accessories... There's just a few of us wacky ones! *LOL* I had wondered about some of the standard drum cases. I've seen a couple that looked promising. I was thinking about packing my baby up and trying a few out as only my Cooperman's has a truly nice case. How's the new bodhran breaking in toffee?

Definitely a starter. Won't be gigging, so a soft case will work fine. Ebay's out though - can't use my AMex gift card with Paypal - found that out after winning the auction for a digital recorder!

I use mink oil on mine...not so cheap, hand-made, not tuneable...I use my hands to rub it in on both sides of the skin (and wood)...heat from the friction causes poors to open...then I wipe it with a soft facecloth. Works for me! Not that I can actually play it, or anything  ...that's another story! I live in So NH, formerly next to a lake, now by river and marshes...haven't actually noticed a prob with humidity...perhaps the mink oil also renders the skin 'moisture-proof'??? hmmmmm

I'm going through bodhran-withdrawal here, major-like!!! I told myself last week that I wasn't allowed to play my bodhran until I finished my personal statement to send with my college application. That was a week ago and I just finished the essay a few hours ago... and I'm at work, so I can't play it now!! *my fingers are itchy* *scrathcscratchscratch*

Hey, nobody told me the pictures weren't showing up! I don't know why they shouldn't be... I didn't delete or move them - they're still where they were when I posted them! Oh, well... if anyone's interested, here they are. This was my Walton's drum (the one Kevin gave me); I got my Vignoles about three weeks after these were taken, but I do have pictures of him playing with that one when Dad and I went to see Cindy (in October, I think?), just not uploaded to Photobucket: 
I found some mink oil at IGA today when I went with my mom. I'm glad it was mentioned here, or I would never have noticed it! Yes, it did smell pretty funky, but I was thinking about buying some. Does anyone else have a review of the stuff, positive or negative?
