- Bodhrán (Irish) = Drum (English) pronounced like "Bow" (from bowing down your head, not the bow to shoot an arrow) + "Ron"

Mastering an instrument is a complex and multifaceted endeavour that requires a combination of physical, cognitive, and emotional skills, along with dedication and perseverance. And if all you need is encouragement, I've got your back. Just do it!
