THE WIDE SELECTION OF BANJO HEADS TO CHOOSE FROM:

Top Frosted- The most popular head made for a 5-string banjo. Crisp bright with a good snap, not too much sustain, good clarity and note distinction.

Black-Mellow in tone with long sustain, lots of low frequency response and not a crisp as a clear or bottom frosted head. More sustain that the fiberskyn.

Renaissance-Smooth top & opaque honey color. Tone is a brighter than found in the fiberskyn head. Another favorite of old time clawhammer players.

Fiberskyn-Warm, round character. A favorite with old time clawhammer players.

Bottom Frosted-Popular with tenor and plectrum banjoists because the smooth outer surface is quieter when strumming. The head has good bass response. 

Matte Black-This is new head will provide a mellow banjo tone, not too much sustain, good clarity and note distinction. Has a matte finish.

Goodtime head change package

"I was very pleased with the Goodtime banjo head change package I recently received. For me, the fiber skin head, slightly heavier strings, and smile bridge really helped dial in the sound I was looking for in a clawhammer banjo. Although I have a more expensive banjo, the Goodtime is my “go to” and my main gigging banjo. Shipping was fast too! Thanks Deering!"

— Kent M. (5/5)

Q&A

Why is upgrade to smile bridge option only available for standard top-frosted head? Is the smile bridge not recommended on the other type heads. Considering a black or fiberskyn and an armrest for my fretless scooples openback GoodTime. Thanks!
You can upgrade on any of the heads. If the drop-down does not show that, please call us at the factory to order that. Thanks for asking.
Will these heads fit the Americana's 12 inch pot?
Be sure to ask for a 12"head!!
