We are happy to announce Art Bodhrán's newest offering, the CoreLine line of bodhráns. Though the CoreLine builds on Christian's experience in producing the LightLine and BasicLine models, it is not a successor to either, but an entirely new drum.

In creating the CoreLine, Christian Hedwitschak has drawn on the very core of his experience and competency in bodhrán making. From the choice of materials to the construction of the frame and the finish of the surfaces, all components and details are perfectly balanced, in line with his core values of attention to detail and great craftsmanship. The heads are "Edlauer Select" premium goat skin, which is produced and refined exclusively for Hedwitschak drums by world-renowned skin manufacturer Werner Edlauer. The multipoint tuning system works smoothly and allows for precise, quick and easy tuning. Thanks to the skillful shaping of the inner part of the tuning rim, the hand nestles naturally into place, rendering the drum very comfortable to play. The high quality of the CoreLine is emphasized by a classy black cherry veneer. With the intricate contours and the flush-to-the-rim skin mounting, the design of the CoreLine bodhrán demonstrates simple elegance and timelessness.

Now available in five models:

  • Slim (35cm × 12cm / 13.8" × 4.7")
  • Bullet (35cm × 15cm / 13.8" × 5.9")
  • Universal (38cm × 14cm / 15.0" × 5.5")
  • Classic (40cm × 13cm / 15.8" × 5.1")
