I have been out of banjo playing and building for a number of years, and I have noticed that many of the parts stores that I relied on online are gone now. I need a Archtop banjo head and I can't find one. Anyone know where I can buy one? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Archtop? Do you mean low crown?

I have plenty of 11" low crown Remo heads in stock and in almost every film type that Remo manufactures.

"Arch top head" is a new one to me. Heads don't come "arched." The banjo itself determines whether the head becomes flat or arched.
Please speak to Bob Smakula. He can and will help.

According to the Stew-Mac site, archtop banjos use low crown heads.

Except Framus, they need medium crown.
