Description


Contains everything needed to start playing the bodhran. Full size 18" genuine Irish Bodhran made by Waltons. Important points to consider when purchasing a bodhrn: Q. Which size bodhran should I buy? A. If you're just beginning, choose either 16 inch or 18 inch diameter bodhran. Anything smaller will not give you the range of sound or flexibility in playing. We carry smaller, 12-inch bodhrans which make excellent gifts for children, both plain or with your favorite Celtic design. Q. What about the bodhran strut, should it be a cross or a simple bar? A. A single strut is preferred due to the important fact that as you advance in playing the bodhran, you'll be using your hand against the inside of the bodhran to change the dynamics of the sound from the bodhran skin and you'll need freedom of movement as much as possible. Cross or X braces will get in the way of your playing, especially as you develop new techniques and styles so they should be avoided when purchasing a bodhran. As world famous bodhran player Peter Houlahan teaches in his book The Irish Drum, An Bodhrn, "limit yourself to the single strut, and make sure it is the correct distance from the skin." This Bodhran Value Pack also includes world-famous Conor Long's instructional DVD, Bodhran Basics. Bodhran Basics is an easy-to-follow DVD introduction to the basics of playing the Irish bodhran. This invaluable guide will teach you the first steps and basic rhythms you will need to accompany Irish music on you bodhran, including comprehensively explained examples of each of the popular tune types. Bodhran Basics also includes instruction on getting the best sound from your instrument as well as essential information on bodhran care and maintenance. For the bodhran beginner, this is the perfect introductory tutor before graduating to a more advanced level. Also in this Bodhran Value Pack is a carrying case to store and transport your bodhran and a beater (tipper)

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
