NATURAL Calf Skin or Goat Skin Banjo Head in 12" or 10" size, SPECIFY SIZE!

Description

Auction is for a 12" or 10" NATURAL head (vellum), Calf or goat,
no difference, thickness is more important there, thinner tends to be brighter.
THICKNESS
VARIES, SO SPECIFY THIN OR THICK IF YOU DON'T WANT MEDIUM!
Please specify size when ordering!
The 12" size  will fit an 8" rim, the 10" size will work for an 7" or smaller rim,
Most banjo-ukes are typically 7" to *8" in diameter
and would use the 12" size head.
You may want thin is there is very little clearance between the stretcher band and the pot/rim.
THE HEAD IS FOR A BANJO, BANJO MANDOLIN or BANJO UKULELE
HEADS PICTURED, LEFT TO RIGHT ARE:
WHITE, & in the next picture a 12" White, 14" Natural & 16" White
CALFSKIN GIVES THE MELLOWEST, WARMEST TONE OF ALL HEAD TYPES!
SOME AREAS FLUCTUATE EXTREMELY
AS FAR AS
*
HUMIDITY GOES,
SO YOU MAY WANT TO EITHER SPRAY THE SKIN WITH A WATERPROOFING AGENT,
OR HAVE AN EXTRA BRIDGE OF A DIFFERENT HEIGHT (DRIER WEATHER=TIGHTER HEAD, DAMP=LOOSER).
YOU MAY NOT BE AT ALL EFFECTED!

You may also specify the thickness if you have one, thin, medium or thick, medium is the usual choice,
NOTE:
ODD SIZE BANJOS (NOT 11" OR 12" OR 10 15/16") AND BANJO-UKES NOT 8" HEAD DIAMETER
USUALLY NEED TO HAVE A SKIN HEAD, AND YOU (OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW)
WILL HAVE TO TRIM IT WITH A KNIFE AFTER IT IS INSTALLED
SINCE THERE WILL BE EXTRA SKIN STICKING UP.
YOU WILL NEED THE EXTRA SKIN TO PULL ON WHEN MOUNTING,
THAT'S WHY THE HEAD DIAMETER IS LARGER THAN YOUR INSTRUMENT DIAMETER.
I CAN LINK YOU TO
YOUTUBE
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS,
or
you can just google "mounting a calfskin banjo head"!
WET 'EM AND WRESTLE WITH 'EM 'TILL YOU GET 'EM DOWN!
The 16" size  will fit a 12" head banjo, the 15" size will work for an11" head,
PS, I ALSO CARRY ALL GAUGES OF METAL OR NYLON BANJO OR UKE STRINGS,
.50 A SET, AND
FLESH HOOPS (WIRE) FOR EACH
(THE HOOP (WIRE) IS THE  PART THAT IS ENCLOSED BY THE SKIN SO THAT THE SKIN CAN BE TIGHTENED BY THE STRETCHER BAND) .

8" (.50);  AND 11", 12", 10 7/8" AND 10 15/16" , EACH.
