means A shallow, one-sided Irish frame drum, traditionally made of goatskin stretched over a wooden hoop and played with a double-headed stick called a tipper.

from From Irish 'bodhrán,' most likely linked to the Irish word 'bodhar,' meaning 'deaf' or 'dull-sounding' — likely describing the drum's low, muffled tone rather than its ancestry. The instrument itself probably began as a humble farm tool, a tray used for winnowing grain or carrying turf, pressed into musical service once someone realized a tight skin over a wooden frame could keep a beat as well as hold oats. It stayed a folk instrument for most of its life before Irish traditional music's 20th-century revival carried it from kitchens and crossroads dances into concert halls worldwide.
