Our range of tippers which are shown on the following pages have been created after long and exhaustive testing and trail-runs using a variety of woods and tipper designs. We have collaborated with professional bodhran players and naturally have applied and incorporated our own practical experience.
We pay close attention to environmental safety. We use natural oils and beeswax for the surface area of the tipper. We avoid the use of any lacquers which are prone to becoming brittle and dull. Wax tends to remain elastic and as it matures in time shows a brilliant shiny finish.
Our beech tippers are made from the home-grown common beech.
Naturally everyone knows that woods such as makassar ebony, rosewood and snakewood are not indigenous woods. Here again, we are environmental conscious. We always aim for optimum yield from the raw materials and work with the materials accordingly.
Ebony and snakewood materials have always been an integral part of instrument-making i.e in the making of fingerboards, tuning pegs, bows for violins, etc. The use of such materials can therefore not be considered an enviormental threat or to cause ecological damage when used in such small quantities and for such special purposes. Futhermore, the makassar ebony used by us is a so-called leftover-product which accumulates at the veneer wood production stage.
