I’ll be starting this procedure soon, I’ll keep you posted- thanks for the run through tutorial….

I don’t have an inline banjo uke, but my open-back from the 1920′s required a head replacement (the old one was basically liek the paper you would line a drawer bottom with!). Very helpful still for my application. Thanks so much for the pics and links.

Keeps the water from staining or even warping the wood.
