The MEINL Bodhran Tippers come in five different styles, each with its own characteristic. They range from thin and light, to thick and full bodied. A special tipper with leather whips was designed by Thorralf Schuch.

Definitely have to give five stars here. Tippers are very hard to find, and preferences differ greatly due to style of playing. I was surprised how balanced this was, and the quality is very good. I play traditional/Galway style and triplets are very important for me. I can fly pretty fast with this tipper. Easily keeping up with all the polkas and fast tempo tunes in my session. I liked it so much, I bought another one just in case I lost it somewhere. The new one that they sent was just a little bit thinner. So the actual product might differ a little bit. I actually liked the smaller tipper for lighter playing, but the “regular” was best for me…. I bought another just in case.

Light weight. Knobbed ends make triplets and rolls easy.

It's just about perfect for me, the right length, could be a tad heavier; but it's one of my go-to tippers.This is mass produced, not a fancy handmade tipper, and while it's fine straight out of the box, I personally super sanded down the ends with 800, 1000 & 1200 grit sandpaper to get an almost teflon smooth feel to the tips. At less than $10.00, I may buy a couple more just to experiment with brass inserts for weight changes.

I like the larger heads on this tipper and the balance for doing 3 beats, the center knob for gripping is a little large, but the balance is good and it works well.

I've only been playing the bodhran for a few months now, and I wanted a lighter and longer stick as the one I had was short and kind of heavy. I've adopted the top-end style of playing, and this stick does the job nicely. The stick's light weight allows for quick strokes, and allows me to feel relaxed when I play compared to the club I was using before. The finish has worn off on the tip, but this is completely understandable given it's use. This is a good first stick for me anyway.

Smooth wooden tipper. I am not a professional bodran player but I do have a nice lovely one that I will play on occasionally. I lost my old tipper and this was a nice replacement.Pros: light weight, smooth, easy to use.cons: not as wide a circumference for my hands as I would have liked.Overall: a good tipper for lighter sound. Recommend.

I tried three other styles from other companies and they were either too thick or too thin. This was spot on.It took me a couple of minutes to get the grip right. There is a large swell and a wide notch below it that makes it seem like both gripping fingers should go below. As soon as I shifted one finger to the center of the swell (see picture), it played like it was built for me. Rolls are perfect and completely controlled. Regular play never gets loose. I love it.

Verarbeitung und Funktion perfekt. Sieht gut aus und klingt gut.

Il tipper si presenta ben rifinito e dal peso perfettamente bilanciato. Il miglioramento è stato subito evidente rispetto al tipper fornito insieme al bodran, sia per quanto riguarda la suonabilità che per il suono. L'impugnatura è sottile, quindi questo tipper è perfetto anche per chi ha le mani piccole.Acquisto consigliatissimo!

My favourite tipper as a beginner on bodhrán. I find it easier to do rolls than on my hot rod topper. I like the grips at different spaces on the tipper so you can try both grips.

Ni bueno ni malo , es cuestión de gustos el disponer de uno u otro tipo pero en lo referente a la madera lo doy por bueno , en cuanto al stick en sí , sin ser profesional del bodrhan , no es mi preferido .

Mein mit Abstand am häufigsten verwendeter Schläger. Ich benutze das Teil mit Rahmentrommeln und Tambourins
