Its a nice ended product, on quality wood. Nice to play with if you have big hands. If not, you better get away from it, because it's Big. Really big, you will tired to play soon.
The headball of the beater works fine in the bodhrán, in our case Michael Vignoles pro-series.
For us, works better other bodhrán sticks from artisan, small and used to fit into a normal hand.
