Walton's used to produce incredible bodhrans. Great quality and designs. Their website claims that their bodhrans are made in Ireland. They tell their vendors that, and they are advertising them as made in Ireland. The fact is that they closed their factory in Ireland 3-4 years ago. All production is made out of country. Probably China.
They recently greatly reduced the quality of their bodhrans with no notice to customers or vendors. The price remained the same.
I feel they are not operating honestly and show little concern for their customers or business associates.
