The Bodhran Series Banjolele, or Bodhralele as we prefer to call it, represents the fusion of two very different cultures into one incredible and fun musical instrument - Irish and Hawaiian.
 
Your Bodhralele will be made uniquely for you. It isn't an off-the-peg instrument. Until the moment your order is received, your instrument exists only as raw materials in our workshop. That's when we get to work creating your unique one of a kind Bodhralele.
 
The Bodhralele is hand crafted from the finest of materials, and features a genuine Irish Bodhran drum for its body, giving a softer, warmer tone than a regular banjolele.
 
Making one instrument at a time from the absolute finest of materials, we don't start work on a new instrument until the previous one has been completed, inspected, tested and signed off as perfect. This of course means that every Bodhralele is a labour of love.
 
You get to choose between a plain undecorated skin, or you can specify the design on the drum skin. You can email me a jpeg of the image you want included - you can send me a link to an image you'd like replicated, or you can choose a random celtic design featuring either knotwork or shamrocks.
 
Every Bodhralele will have an under-bridge piezo pickup fitted, and the design features a 2-bolt adjustable angle neck made from mahogany and real hide drum skin.
