Description

The original plastic banjo heads, from Weatherking. Features epoxy-mounted Mylar® with white top-frosted surface for a bright, crisp tone.

Plastic heads resist stretching and shrinking due to humidity, a problem common to skin heads, and give the instrument a brighter, crisper tone.

Measure your banjo for the correct head diameter:

• Take at least three diameter measurements at different points on the outside of the banjos tone ring or rim top.
• Use the average diameter to the nearest 1/16" to order the correct size.

Choose the correct crown height:

• Crown height is the vertical distance from the top of the heads mounting band to the top surface of the head.
• A banjo with a flathead tone ring (or a flat-topped banjo) requires a medium or high crown head. A banjo with an archtop tone ring requires a low crown head.
• The correct crown height prevents the banjos tension hoop from pulling down too far, and ensures the hoop wont be so high as to impede the strings.

Specs for this head:

• Crown height: High (1/2")
