Show your Banjos

That baby would be getting a new skin head stat!
Also some Nylgut strings.

A good friend gave me a banjolin to learn how to do the re-skin thing…I’m afraid I would make a mess of it. Someday I’ll have a go at it.

Just do it! You know you want to.
Keep it mind, though, that banjos are LOUD. The first time I played mine, she said, "Oh My God!!! Do they make mufflers for those things?"

Just picked up a Bacon manjo, it's a nice one too, I ripped it apart as soon as I got in the door for some maintenance and a setup, I'll take pictures when it's back together.

The vellums are pretty cheap, so if you totally butcher it you can redo it. You can always just throw a plastic head on it to get it playing. I have a teens Stella tenor I'm about to re skin, I'll let you know how it goes.
