Weatherking Banjo Head, High Crown, 10-7/8″ Diameter

Upgrade your banjo with a durable, bright-sounding banjo head designed for stability and crisp tone. Made from epoxy-mounted Mylar, this frosted banjo head resists stretching and shrinking due to humidity, providing reliable performance in any environment. The white top-frosted surface enhances projection and articulation, making it ideal for bluegrass, clawhammer, and fingerstyle playing. Unlike traditional skin heads, this plastic head maintains its shape and tension regardless of humidity changes, preventing tuning instability. To choose the right size, measure your banjo’s rim in multiple places to ensure accurate sizing. Most modern banjos use an 11″ diameter head, while vintage models may range from 10″ to 12″. Crown height is also crucial for proper fit. A low crown is compatible for archtop tone rings, while medium and high crowns are ideal for flathead tone rings. Selecting the correct crown height ensures the tension hoop sits at the right level for optimal playability. Whether you’re restoring a vintage instrument or upgrading a modern banjo, this head delivers stability, brightness, and long-lasting performance for musicians of all styles.
