Solid Tippers

The HW 6 was designed by me a very long time ago as the ideal beginner's tipper.

The conical shape prevents it from slipping through your hand, along with a central ring that helps with the grip. The stick is thicker and therefore heavier at the two ends, so rotating is easier. This allows for a nice momentum which helps for a flowing beat but is not so heavy that control is impaired.

The ME 4 follows a similar pattern: The ellipsiod tipper has a slightly conical shape which prevents slipping. The small ends allow for a precise playing style.

OW7 and OW14 are traditional tippers that you can also use at the beginning.

Macassar is one of the hardest, heaviest and costliest types of wood in the world. The unique qualities of this special wood make macassar a perfect material for the production of tippers. These high-quality tippers are supplied with a natural wax finish.

Please note: Macassar is not ebony, but is often referred to as “macassar ebony” because it looks very similar. Real ebony, however, does not have the nice lighter strips which can be seen on macassar. Another difference is the price: while macassar costs about EUR 22,000 per m³, real ebony is about EUR 30,000 per m³.

Snakewood is one of the most expensive and valuable woods in the world. It´s a very hard and heavy wood, perfect for tippers - and so beautiful! The technical qualities of this wood are really perfect especially for "long and slender" tippers. 

On the RWE-Power, the red shrink tubing is incorporated into the handle and merges seamlessly into the wood! This has worked extremely well in my hands, even in very fast playing situations.This construction is unique in the world of bodhrán and a masterpiece of tipper maker Stevie Moises.

What makes the MoGrip series special is that the player gets the same shape of handle for all types of tippers! Regardless of whether you use a hot rod, a click tipper, a brush or simply a classic stick, the grip will always feel the same.

The EnchantHED is a LIGHT tipper with the power of a heavy one. Perfectly balanced, weighted teardrop head, OVAL grip shape with adjustable rubber rings. The amount of bass for such a light and thin tipper is just surprising!
