MEINL18" Professional Bodhran Frame Drum Bag
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A padded MEINL gig bag sized for an 18-inch bodhran. For players who carry a frame drum to sessions and need basic transport protection.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Carrying a bodhran to pub sessions and rehearsals
- Protecting a drum stored between gigs
- Anyone hauling a frame drum on public transport
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Air travel or checked baggage, where a hard case is needed
- Drums larger or smaller than 18 inches
- Players wanting a rigid shell against real impact
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Gig bag construction
Soft-sided. Handles scuffs, weather, and knocks in transit, not crushing or a drop onto a hard edge.
Detail 03
MEINL Professional line
Their upper bag tier rather than the basic sleeves, which is where the $59.99 price sits.
Detail 04
Black exterior
Hides road grime and stays anonymous in a venue full of stacked cases.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will it fit a 16-inch bodhran?
It closes, but the drum moves around inside. A snug bag protects better, so match the bag size to your drum where you can.
02Does it hold a tipper?
Check for an exterior pocket before you count on it. Many players simply lay the tipper alongside the drum inside the bag.
03Can I check it on a flight?
Not recommended. Soft-sided bags do not resist crushing, and baggage handling is where frame drums get damaged. Use a hard case or carry on.
04Does the drum come with it?
No. This is the bag only. It is a replacement or upgrade for players who already own an 18-inch bodhran.
