Introducing the Rattan Tipper for Bodhran, a meticulously crafted tool designed to enhance your musical experience. This tipper is constructed from several strands of rattan, expertly wrapped and secured by a band to form a slightly flexible instrument. By sliding off the smaller restraining band, musicians can achieve a brushed or snare-like sound, adding versatility to their performance. This beater is adaptable, allowing for use in either direction, making it a must-have for any bodhran player.
The Rattan Tipper is swung back and forth against the head of a bodhran, creating lively and dynamic rhythmic patterns. Known also as a bone, beater, or cipin, each tipper offers a unique comfort and grip, resulting in varied sound outputs. Musicians are encouraged to explore different styles to find the perfect match for their playing style. Crafted from solid wood and hand-turned on a lathe, each tipper may have slight variations in profile, adding to its unique character. Don't miss the opportunity to elevate your music—try one today!
Features:
- Handcrafted from solid wood for durability and unique sound.
- Flexible design allows for diverse sound production.
- 9.5" long x 5/8" in diameter, perfect for comfortable handling.

I love this tipper. It gives the drum more of a whispering snare sound.

I was looking for the right equipment for my Camac Isolde Celtic harp. I did NOT want to install the Dusty Strings pick-ups- seemed like way too much to add. This little gizmo was easy to install with the little pictures on placement- like, less than five minutes easy. I plugged the pickup into my new Roland Mobile Cube and it’s perfect! I don’t hear any sound distortion, and I think this will be just right when playing background music for noisier environments. Super happy with this!

I was excited to receive this kit. I do have several banjos already; however, I did not have a mountain banjo. I have built gourd banjos and ekontings (I went to Gambia in 2004 and 2007 to learn how to play and make them) from scratch, so I am not a beginner in terms of making instruments. I had a lot of fun putting the kit together. I do have a few observations regarding tips or slight modifications in the instruction manual, if interested.
Thanks!

I am very happy with the quality of the instrument. I am of Puerto Rican decent and it reminds me of my childhood, watching the musicians and learning to play myself. It is a beautiful guiro and sounds amazing.

It's great to be able to buy a hurdy gurdy in the US without having to wait for 6 months to a year or more. The Aplo is a quality entry level instrument that produces beautiful sound. It resonates very well and there are no buzzes or squeaks. Workmanship is very good. I got mine cottoned, rosined and tuned in a half hour. The transaction was easy and it arrived within a week.
I've been able to play some tunes on it with only a few hours of practice. It's going to be a lot of fun.

I love it, the entonation is really very good (sorry for my bat english).
Regards!
