Knob Tipper - Double Slope

Excellent tipper, well balanced and good to handle.

great product. was exactly what was pictured, however the balance point is not correct. Otherwise was perfect.

Has a good length and heft. I like the rounded edges. If you order two, each one will be a little different. This is the best tipper I have found. It is solid and controllable.

Well balanced, nice feel, good length. It IS a little heavy, so beware of that before you buy it. I'm a fiddle player who dabbles in Bodhran (in the privacy of my own home, so no worries...I'm not out destroying sessions with my bohdran), but of the three tippers I've tried, this is my favorite.

This is a little heavy for me but it’s well balanced and sounds decent.

As a complete beginner to the bodhrán, I didn't know one tipper from another. I chose this one based on another positive review, and it just made sense to me that this style would be a good one - oval cross section in the grip area, raised areas towards the ends for reference, and somewhat smaller knobs as compared with the tipper that came with my drum. A rubber band tied around the center of any tipper can go far towards preventing slipping while also giving a changeable "set point" (credit to Michelle Stewart for this great idea). I can recommend this tipper without reservations. I would only add that, while a good fit and comfortable, this tipper doesn't noticeably improve my playing. I feel sure there are many excellent tippers and that ultimately it's just a matter of finding what works best for you. [Later note: I bought a second one of these which was also very nice but does not have the oval cross section - not a deal breaker but good to know.]

I like the finish, weight, and feel of this tipper. It is easy to hold and use. Also appealing in appearance. Price was reasonable and shipping fast. I found that this tipper made it easier for me to learn how to play.

Wow! I have played with a number of different tippers over the years and until ordering this one, had different ones I preferred to use with each of my bodhrans. Never mind how it fits your hand, a tipper can be too heavy or too light for a specific drum, too short or too long to be usable with another if you're trying for the best tones. This one is perfect on all scores! I'll still carry my old ones to gigs as spares in case something happens, but the Roosebeck is going to be my go-to from here on.
