Description
Auction is for a 16" 0r 15" White 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 16" size will fit a 12" head banjo, the 15" size will work for an 11" head,
and is easier to use since since you don't have so much skin
to pull (and wrestle with)under the stretcher band.
Most banjo-ukes are typically 7" to *8"in diameter and would use the 12" size head.
You may want thin if there is very little clearance between the stretcher band and the pot/rim
Other ebay sellers don't sell new WHITE, others charge up to
