Texas Banjo Massacre

After playing an Enoch banjo with a calfksin head at a jam a few weeks ago, I decided that I'd like to switch my Renaissance head out for calfskin. The process wasn't all that hard, just a little nerve wracking to take my banjo apart! It's all back together now and I absolutely love the way the new head sounds, warmer and thumpier. Here are some pictures of the process and some recordings of me playing Lonesome John and Betty Likens with the new head installed. Enjoy.
