How should one pronounce “Bodhran”?
A. Any way you like! However it seems the “D” should forever remain silent. BOW-RON, BOE RON, BOOR RON and BERARN are enjoying popularity at the moment. An old Scotsman I know who learnt in Scotland swears it is pronounced BURRUM and says he hits it with a BIFFEM – BIPPIN is also popular in Scotland. Who cares?
