Tunnel Bodhran

A murky tunnel that burrows under Edinburgh's Arthur's Seat volcanic complex. A perfect place to bang a small celtic drum.

ByChristian Henson

The story

Edinburgh is a warren of abandoned train lines. Used by cyclists as a network called the “inner tube” (get it?). One of these lines “the innocent” is a long trail that skirts around Arthur’s Seat with a dank, musty graffitied tunnel with unusual acoustics. Time to pull out an unpronouncable drum for some fun with acoustics (in between cyclists whizzing by).

(we justified this silliness by performing some time alignment experiments…. how slow is sound???!!!)

    Gracias Christian por cargar nuevamente Tunnel Bodhran. Siempre acudía a él, lo había perdido en una rotura de disco duro. Espero puedas cargar nuevamente Tunnel Voices que lo extraño en muchas producciones.

  • How to Say Bodhrán

    Great sample pack, and easily as good as the paid Bodhrán samples I have.

    However, Bodhrán is not pronounced bo-ron (as you said in the video).

    It's bow-rawn. Bow to rhyme with cow and rawn to rhyme with corn. Strech the last last syllable...bow-raawn.
