Description
The Paddy League Style Bodhrán Tipper by Marty Spencer of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida is a Whistle & Drum Exclusive!
"This tipper is the one I make for Paddy League and he sells quite a few to his students at the festivals and Irish Week schools he teaches." - Marty Spencer
The standard length is 20.3 cm / 8" and is available in the following 3 grip diameters:
- Thin: 5/16" / 7.9mm
- Medium: 3/8" / 9.5mm (This is the grip diameter that Paddy League uses.)
- Thick: 7/16" / 11.1mm
Wood Choices
Marty uses alternative wood products when available. His bodhrán tippers are made mostly from recycled or alternative woods. Much of the woods he uses are gleaned from the yacht and aircraft interior design trade. The chances are very good that the wood in your Goat Whacker came from the same board that is part of some billionaire's mega-yacht or business jet interior!
