This 30 page book has an accompanying CD, both by Conor Long. This book will introduce the novice to the bodhran. Learn the care and handling of the instrument; how to hold it, playing positions, and more. The descriptions and instruction in the book are well illustrated. This book includes reel and jig exercises and nine songs. We recommend this as a great gift idea to add to any bodhran. This 1998 issue is published by Walton Manufacturing Ltd.
