Can anyone tell me where to find a 10 & 3/4 inch tension hoop? I purchased an old tenor banjo pot and need to replace the hoop. The old hoop is too thin and separating at the joint.

No long ago, I read a post where someone on the hangout said they could supply any size, but I've unable to relocate that post.

Probably Bill Rickard, just search for him under members.

Larry, I roll my own tension hoops but I don't sell them. But I find that before I cut them to the final 11 inch size that I can easily open or close the circle a 1/4" more or less and still get a good fit on a rim that would be a little more or less of 11 inches. What Im getting at is that if you can not find the exact size, you can buy a stock 11" hoop , cut it open and pull it in to fit your rim. It all depends on how fussy you are about these things... Bob.
