BOD are pleased to offer our customers a very special edition unitHED Project CoreLine Classic bodhrán kit.

Christian and Stevie are using a beautiful “Save the Rain Forest” rainbow veneer to create special edition unitHED drums and tippers. See below for the details of their unitHED project that inspired these products.

There has been a very high demand for these drums, and right now BOD have one:
a CoreLine Classic (40 cm diameter, 13 cm deep) here in the UK ready to ship as part of a special offer kit.

The kit is comprised of the Rainbow CoreLine Classic (£355.00), a 40 cm HEDCase (£94.00) and a Rainbow Tipper (£27.00) for a reduced kit price of £455.00 Visit the unitHED CoreLine Classic Kit product page for full details of each product in the kit.

The veneer comes from a supplier committed to protecting the tropical rainforests and endangered hardwoods. Working with woods from sustainable, fast-growing timber, their specialised processing and colouring techniques allow them to create striking veneers without using endangered tropical hardwoods. The company is also committed to a project of re-forestation in Guatamala, funded by a percentage of every sale.

Don’t need a new drum right now?  We do have one more Rainbow Tipper available for sale (and waiting to hear if we can have more).

The unitHED Project

Christian Hedwitschak (bodhrán maker), Stevie Moises (tipper maker) and Rolf Wagels (shop owner, advisor, teacher and player) have worked closely together for years promoting the bodhrán in Germany and abroad. In Christian’s words:

Until now, the three of us have deliberately avoided making political statements in a business context. We felt that staying politically neutral was the professional thing to do.

Given what’s happening in the world right now, we’ve reconsidered. We want to be clear about where we stand. Because the issues that matter to us aren’t really about party politics – they’re about basic humanity.

With our project unitHED, we’re making a clear statement about the values we stand for, live by, and will defend. Our rainbow products are more than a symbol – to us, they’re a beacon. They reflect our everyday attitude and the way we think, design, make and share our work.

The three of us don’t always agree on everything. We argue our points, challenge each other, and sometimes have to work hard to find common ground – but we always come back to the same thing: what we share is stronger than what divides us. That’s been the foundation of our success.

We stand FOR:
• recognising the dignity of every human being – without exception
• democracy
• freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of the press
• sexual self-determination
• non-violence
• respect for international law

We stand AGAINST:
• fascism
• abuse of power
• all forms of physical and psychological violence

We stand for the colours of the rainbow – and everything they represent.

With our rainbow products, you can make a visible statement too. Music is a language everyone understands – diverse, cross-border, and full of colour. Music is universal. With unitHED, this idea becomes visible in the instruments themselves.
