Weatherking Banjo Head High Crown 11"
Weatherking Banjo Head
The Weatherking Banjo Head is a reliable choice for banjo players seeking a bright and crisp tone. Made with epoxy-mounted Mylar® and a white top-frosted surface, this plastic head maintains excellent sound clarity and responsiveness.
Unlike traditional skin heads, plastic banjo heads resist the common issues of stretching and shrinking caused by humidity, offering consistent performance and a sharper tone.
How to Choose the Right Size Banjo Head: To determine the correct head size, measure the diameter of your banjo's rim. Since rims can be slightly out of round, take at least three measurements along the outer edge of the tone ring or rim top and use the average diameter rounded to the nearest 1/16".
-
Most modern banjos use an 11" diameter head.
-
Many "old-time" open-back banjos are designed with 11" (and sometimes 12") heads.
-
Vintage banjos may range from 10" to 12" in rim diameter.
Selecting the Right Crown Height
Crown height refers to how tall the banjo head is from its mounting band up to its playing surface. Matching the correct crown height to your banjo’s tone ring style is essential for proper fit and function. Banjos with archtop tone rings typically need a low crown head, while those with flathead tone rings or flat-top construction generally use medium or high crown heads. Using the appropriate crown height keeps the tension hoop at the right level—low enough to avoid string interference, but high enough to maintain proper tension and tone.
