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 bought this 30 inch frame drum about 3 years ago (2022 I think) for use in drum circles and also for recording. It’s incredible! I wanted a drum that people could not just hear, but also feel. This one fulfills that promise very powerfully, so I call it the Boneshaker. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments about it at drum circles. It helps to hold the rhythm together very well. By playing the drum harmonics, I can find at least 3 tones to it, more depending on how I tune it. I’ve had dozens of drums and over a hundred percussion instruments over the years, but this is in the top 1% of my all time favorites. I even painted the head and it’s beautiful! Everyone at the drum circles loves it.
I bought this bodhran after I broke my more decorative one while protesting. I’m one of four women who are Drumming for Democracy every week at our local Saturday protest.
The DG-255 I received from Lark in the Morning was easily as beautiful as presented. The padded gig bag is a huge plus as well.
The guitar is a solid and has a bigger, more forward sound than I'd anticipated which suits me just fine. It plays easily, surely even more so after I have a guitar tech get it set up for me.
Nice people, excellent service, quick shipping. Nothing not to like here.
This whistle has a beautiful, warm tone and is very responsive. I have used a variety of whistles (including other Kerry whistles), and this one is my favorite to play. While recording my latest album, I needed a whistle in this key pretty quickly, and Lark in the Morning had this delivered to me within a few days. I highly recommend this instrument, and Lark in the Morning is a fantastic place to purchase from with excellent customer service.
I already play a mountain lap dulcimer, but this one gives the instrument a whole different dimension to playing. Really beautiful craftsmanship. Thus isn’t a toy, but a lovely wooden instrument. Very easy to play!
