New head for 2003 GDL

"I purchased a banjo head to replace one on my 2003 GDL. It sounds great and the support I received as I worked through replacing it was wonderful."

— Michael P. (5/5)

banjo head, frosted

"It had one slight edge chip missing on white frosted finish. I am unable to use it however because the tone ring (did I get that right?) on the no-name banjo I am repairing for brother-in-law is a little too big diameter. It's a welded and chromed ring and I couldn't modify without major (?) damage. I will be reusing the old head. Your YouTube videos are VERY helpful."

— dave y. (4/5)

Mostly good

"It’s usually trouble free to order whatever I need from here, and my order for a replacement head was taken care of promptly and courteously. Unfortunately, I needed some other parts which they don’t have in stock and have no clue when they will be in stock. That’s a bit aggravating."

Replacement Banjo Head

"I needed to replace the head on my Deering Maple Blossom banjo (the original head had ripped), and I wanted a genuine Deering part. Ordering was easy, the cost competitive, the part shipped right away, and I had the new banjo head installed the day after I got the replacement. The replacement head looks, feels, and sounds great."

You measure from the top of the aluminum edge of the banjo head to the top flat surface of your head.
Does the Vega long neck 5 string banjo use a high, medium, or low crown 11" head?: The Deering Vega banjo made 2006 or newer uses a medium crown; the older ones use a high crown.
What crown height do I need for my Calico? I bought the instrument from Jim's House of Guitars in San Diego sometime in September, 1981. The serial number is 0902881, dated 9/18/81. The head has been punctured somehow.: You need a high crown head.
