Quality

If it comes to quality, no compromises will be made. From material purchasing to the packing of the finished bodhrán - I do everything myself.
Behind the name "Hedwitschak drums" is only one person who is fully responsible for the finished product. 
I can take responsibility for my products only because I can rely on my helpers and suppliers 100%. Most of my business relationships have existed for many year now and some of them have turned into friendships.
For example, I get my drum skins (except the Lambeg skins, of course) for over ten years by the same manufacturer. Stevie (wood turner), my tipper maker, I met 15 years ago. Since then, we work together continuously.
In this way products are deigned to perfection and a constant high quality can be guaranteed. 
In the best tradition of craftsmanship and artisan honor. 

Responsibility

I work primarily with natural materials like solid wood, vegetable oils, clear carnauba wax and quality animal skin. These materials will always be available and our limited and respectful use of them doesn’t pose a threat to our earths’ natural resources. There is also no mass production in my line of work, just small quantities. Especially the usage of animal skin will get al lot of thought every time. I will always try to use a skin as economically as possible without compromising quality. Usually I can get two or three smaller drum skins from one goat skin. Excess material is used for other purposes, if possible. 
Natural finishing materials like oil and bees wax are used for the wood surfaces. I also polyurethan varnish for some special effect finishes like on the "RolfWagelsEdition" and the "MyOwnSpecial" This materials are only used in a special finishing room and I treat it very careful to save the environment (and my health ;o) )
You can rely on the expertise of a master craftsman. 

Service

No matter if entry level drum or full customisation - I am your contact person. A detailed advice by email or if requested by phone is for sure.

If you are a beginner to the bodhrán world your enquiry might be forwarded to Guido Plüschke or Rolf Wagels who are both experienced bodhrán teachers and retailers of my drums. Both of them will give you detailed advice and may have the right drum in stock. For sure I would love to talk to each of my customers personally but my time is limited and the focus of my work time lies of course on the production.

In the case of planning a custom made drum or if you need more advice concerning a bodhrán of the HighEnd line I will be available for you personally, of course.
On the basis of example drum pictures, videos and sound files your personal drum will be customized to your needs and requirements.

In general I am well-known for my quickly email reply. Please be indulgent if it should take a bit longer someday - I am just a one-man-company. But then I´ll be there for you fully :-)
