[Dixielandjazz] Heads? banjo, that is--

True Bob,

  however you forgot about the part when you insert a pillow into it to 
avoid it sounding sharp all the time, and new scientific evidence  now 
proclaims that wrapping the strings all along the neck with duct tape 
greatly enhances the sound quality as well.  :))

Gawd I luvs me some banjos,  :))

Cheers,

Tom Wiggins

Now see what you started, I am going to my room  now cause the Banjo 
hate mail will soon fill my mailbox.

Sorry guys  Da Debble and Ringy made me think of it  shoot him he is 
only the piano player.

 Tight. 
 
  A good rule of thumb is to tighten your banjo head evenly, little by 
little. Keep tightening until it splits & then back off a quarter of a 
turn.
