@saguaro_squee So sorry for your loss as it is very personal for you. Edit: no idea why letters are so big. Did not do that on purpose.

It's always sad news, but it's reassuring to hear that this man, at a respectable age, has passed away peacefully according to all sources and we must be thankful for what he brought to us. As Wes, I did not know him personally.

I wish you good luck. I would like to talk to you. I feel you.

Hi, When I am logged in and I am idle for 5 minutes, the forum logs me out. Is this a common issue or should I search the issue on my end_ Werner.

My 2 cents: Grip: Hold the bodhrán with your non-dominant hand inside the rim, fingers spread out. Experiment for comfort. Techniques: Practice downstrokes (striking near the center) and upstrokes (lightly lifting). Alternate for rhythm and control. Rhythms: Start with simple patterns like reels and jigs. Play along with recordings to develop timing. Tuning: Regularly adjust the drumhead tension for optimal sound. Check for changes in temperature or humidity. Resources: Utilize books, online tutorials, and workshops for guidance and instruction. Practice: Dedicate daily time to practice. Be patient and enjoy the learning process! ☺️ Werner.
