Some Traditional Musical Instruments From Ireland

The history of Irish musical instruments is very long. It began with the beginning of music in Ireland. Here we are going to discus some beautiful traditional musical instruments from Ireland. Let’s start with that musical instrument which is known as the heartbeat of trad music and it is none other than Bodhran. It’s shaped like a large drum and it is covered with the stretched animal skin. It also has a stick  which is usually made from double-ended knucklebone. It served as a double purpose as a husk shifter and gray tray.

Harp is one of the most popular traditional instruments of Ireland. It is the symbol of the Irish republic. It is also the symbol of their popular drink called Guiness Stout. We can categorise harp as the truly ancient instrument. It has a history spanning around 5,000 years. The people of Ireland are using it for around 1000 years. When I was researching on traditional instruments, I found something strange but interesting. May be for you it is ordinary, but let me share it you i:e Queen Elizabeth 1 was a tough critic of harps.

Reed is one of the wind instruments. It is either “wet reed” or “dry reed” instrument. Bouzouki was introduced to Irish music in late 1960. You can term it as a Greek relative of the mandolin. It fills out the sound of the chords. It often takes the same place as the guitar.

Flute entered in the traditional Irish music in the early 1800s. it was the mellow-toned wooden flute.
