I just got my new MHTF Bodhran and it is love at first beat. I had started with a Walton's Pro, non-tunable drum, moved into a custom Albert Alfonso tunable red drum and now the Hedwitschak MHTF. It is fun to play and sounds great. I got mine used from Whistle and Drum and cannot express enough my satisfaction with Gabby's personal helpfulness and knowledge. I will add comments after I have played this drum for a bit. In the meantime, I recommend Whistle and Drum as perhaps the most professional and pleasant music store I have been in to date. A joy to have gotten to meet the team there. (Posted on 8/5/10)
