Why not? If it changes tone too much put a new head on they're cheap. I don't think it will.



I used to make signs in the early to mid 80s before the Gerber came along and ruined the whole industry. One Shot is the best. Post pictures when done.

In the words of my friend Pedro, "It's OK...if you like that kind of thing."

The sound won't be affected at all, your idea is trade related, go there, nobody's done it quite like that.

I don't think you'll have any trouble if you stripe it, I've dyed skin heads and used tinted nitrocellulose lacquer on a ren head didn't effect the tone any. Larry

It sounds intriguing, can't wait to see how it comes out.  I've linked this topic to the Banjo Head Decoration Group. smiley
