Really nice drums. Excellent workmanship, very good sounding and I can highly recommend them. We have one of Christian’s drums and seen and tried all kind of different models in flesh a few times. If you are looking for a good drum this one would be one to go for.

I heartily concur with Brigette.
I have owned two Hedwitschaks. One of my band mates now owns the first one I owned.
I bought another band mate one of these when his house (and instruments) caught fire.

The one I own now is a DSDT (double-skin, double-tuning) made highly custom to my specs with the wood I wanted, the skins I wanted, and even the tack ribbon and special inlay I wanted.
Christian is an excellent bodhran maker and he is very good with customer service as well.

I have played bodhran for over twenty years now.
I have owned Buck, O’Connell, Metloef, and Grady.
I have played all the rest.
While many drums each have their own strengths and weaknesses, I have yet to find a bodhran equal to Hedwitschak in all of quality, playability, sound, and tonal range.

Somebody buy this piece of art.
