YOU CAN'T START TOO EARLY

The StartHED

Even the smallest ones should not miss out. This bodhrán, developed for children's needs, leaves nothing to be desired. Ideal size, safely designed tuning system and the option of using the bodhrán as a table drum make the StartHED the ideal introduction for children.

The Concept

Developed specifically for children aged 4-10, the startHED offers an easy and playful introduction to the world of drum and bodhrán playing.

A tool-less, three-point tuning system makes the drum easy to tune, and resilient to possible tuning mistakes or to being put out of tune by accident.

Although the startHED was designed for children (with rounded edges, and without any dangerous gaps, holes, or angles), it is NOT A TOY, but a musical instrument.

The Skin

As the tuning screws protrude from the frame, thus permitting the sound to escape even when placed on a flat surface, the startHED can also be used as a table drum.

The startHED is equipped with a natural drum skin specifically selected for this purpose and is guaranteed to be of European origin (traceable!). A taped edge allows for a more harmonious sound.

The StartHED comes with a specifically developed kid´s tipper by Stevie Moises and in a fitting drum bag with shoulder strap and carrying handle.

startHED means joy of playing right from the start… so get startHED!
