Good News:
They make other colors besides white
Bad News:
The only other colors are black and clear
Good News:
I REALLY like black.
Bad News:
It took me 2 YEARS to finally order one
Good News:
I shopped around and got the best deal
Good News :
It only took a few days to get here and I got it on FRIDAY!! Yeah Baby!
Good News: I didn't have to pay someone to put it on, cause I know how to do repairs on my banjos.
Bad News:
I got it all in pieces (there are a LOT of little pieces to a banjo) got the pot off the neck, got the old white head off, MOMENT OF TRUTH! Put the NEW HEAD ON AND....it's too SMALL?!?!
Good News:
This ain't my first 'coon hunt, and at least I know how to put it all back together, so I can keep on playing.
Bad News:
My poor neighbors...
Good News:
I held both heads up side by side and the difference is LESS then 1/8 in. So Maybe a music store will have a trick to putting them on.
Bad News:
Guy at the music store said if it doesn't fit it doesn't fit.
Bad News:
I have an odd sized pot so it's nearly impossible to buy a head on line
Bad News:
Black heads are a little hard find to begin with and I have ONLY seen them in 11 in ( you know, the size that won't fit)
Good News:
I found out that there is a BLUEGRASS Music store here in Springfield that knows a heck of a lot more about banjo's then your average run of the mill music store does.
Bad News:
I called and they don't have any
Good News:
They can ORDER one
Bad News:
Since it's a specialty size it will take about 3 MONTHS to get it in.
Good News :
It's about the same price as the one I bought on line is.
So yes, I am going in today, with my banjo to get it measured and "fitted" for a new look. And I'm SUPER excited about it. And yes, I know I'm a nerd. :) But seriously do you know how cool it's going to look?!?!
Bad News:
Having a different kind of head will effect the sound of the banjo. And I may not like how it effects the sound
Good News:
I have read that with the type of pot I have it usually makes it sound better then having the usual frosted white head.
So I guess we will see in about 3 months now won't we.
