     Fast delivery, everything needed in one package. Then add to that Deering's instructional videos makes it easy to ensure the head change is done correctly.

  Wrong string end 
   Review by Andy S. on 28 Nov 2021 review stating Wrong string end 
     Kit contained strings with 4 loop ends 1 ball end which was incorrect. I've sent an email a few days ago about this but never heard back from Deering.

   Review by Tom W. on 17 Sep 2019 review stating Deering Banjo Head Change Package 
     Very nice quality of the kit components. Unfortunately, because my Vega Little Wonder is 25 yrs old, previous modifications are unknown and me being a novice banjo player, the advice I received for correct bridge height (5/8") didn't work out. I had to reuse the old bridge. I very much appreciate the quick response to my questions prior to this pu...Read MoreRead more about  Very nice quality of the kit

  Common sense please! 
   Review by Werner C. on 24 Jul 2017 review stating Common sense please! 
     I ordered this package as a precautionary measure after the head of my Clareen Setanta broke. The order form lets you specify which precise options you want for some of the components, such as what strings you want. In my case, I ordered the Irish Tenor Banjo Set. There was no option for the bridge and I assumed I would get a bridge for tenor banj...Read MoreRead more about  I ordered this package as a

     Not quite sure if I have head tight enough.doesnt sound quite as snappy as in Chad's video but was afraid of breaking it. My banjo sounds great however. So maybe I'm good where it's at.

     This is a great deal. I love that they let you pick your desired strings and head instead of just offering a generic bundle. Shipped promptly and without a hitch. Great service as always.

  The quality of your replacement 
   Review by fchillemi96 on 15 Jan 2016 review stating The quality of your replacement 
     The quality of your replacement parts is just as excellent as my Deering Banjo.  
That did not come as a surprise. What consistently impresses me, however, is the outstanding level of customer support you have provided, right from the start.
Thanks again, Frank Chillemi

  Q: I have a vega #2 openback banjo. Will this head change package work on mine? And will the black head work? And finally, are there instructions with the package on how to change and tune the head and bridge? Thanks.

  A:  No instructions included but we have videos on our site on head changing and the maintenance manual is a free download under our Support tab on the home page. A black head will give the banjo a deeper, bassier tone because it is a thicker mylar than the white frosted top head. If you have an older Vega #2...made before 2006, choose the high crown head; otherwise a medium crown head will work.

  Q: Looking for a 5 1/2" diameter banjo 4 string banjo head. I know they are rare, but I have one. Maybe I can use a bongo drum head. Do you have one that size?

  A:  We do not carry that size in our factory. I would suggest doing a google search for that size to see they recommend any resources. Many of the vintage banjo ukuleles had that size.

  Q: I have my 30 year old Maple Blossom banjo. Do you have a banjo head replacement kit for my banjo? Also, I don't see the Maple Blossom banjo on your website. Has this model been discontinued?

  A:  You should use a high crown, 11" head on your banjo for the easiest installation. We still make the Maple Blossom banjo and have upgraded it to a radiused fingerboard as a standard feature this year. Thanks for asking.
