There are many theories about the origins of the bodhran, including its possible African or Asian roots or that it developed from the tambourine. The most likely explaination suggests that the instrument developed from a farm implement, based on its uncanny resemblance to the skin tray used for centuries on farms in Celtic countries for separating grain from chaff.

Despite occupying a pivotal position in the development of Irish traditional music and customs over the centuries the bodhran has only recently attained its deserves status as a proper traditional instrument.
