Flattops sound sort of dead when you put them on (as compared to
J74's) so they hold up great! :)
They were kind of "hot" a while back for regular mandolins but I don't
know of anybody using them now BUT for a banjolin you may really like
the sound...a little less twangy a little more thuddy

Thanks for the suggestion...its here, the skin has to dry a few more
hours before I can tune it up to see what is what.
How do those flattops hold up...over use and time??

I play doumbek (a hand drum from the middle east), Mike, and my
preferred skin on that is goatskin. It lasts years and years, it
sounds and feels great, and I play pretty hard! So I can say with good
certainty that goat skin is tough. I've used goat on dozens of drums.
It's great.

As a former shepherd, I have to weigh in to suggest that sheepskins
are to thin and soft to make a good banjo head, I suspect that
goatskin would be similar. Calfskin is the best. We have an old banjo
with a 14" head and real skins were impossible to get in that size, so

Do they not raise lots of sheep in Tasmania? Somebody there must have
goatskins for your banjo mandolin. Although calfskin is probably what
you really want. Check at places where leather is sold for crafts, and
I bet you'll get a lead on a local source!
I've also seen them for sale at d
Fine times here in Tasmania. The little banjo mandolin (about 1920)

I dashed to the luthier, to get it seen to.

soaked it in water, put it on and stretched it onl
