I have a Gold Tone OB250+. Two month ago, I chanced the skin head. It`s a remo weather king. I`m not satisfied. The banjo have chanced the sound. The diametre of the skin head is correct. But it`s laying 3 millimetre lower, than the first skin head I had. The strings can be there withouth scratch...even they are laying a little lower. But I think that`s the reason, the banjo, have chanced the sound.

Do anyone have some experience with skin head, to your Gold Tone ? - I don`t like transparant skin. - The sound I like on the banjo, is a soft clear sound.

Thanks for any advise and experience.

Torben

	Torben Pedersen says: 7/21/2012 1:24:25 PM Thanks Shannon. - I ended up to buy a Remo weatherking High B1096 Coated. I mailed Gold Tone to ask what skin head they put on from start. They were very helpfully....so now I have the same type,as from the beginning. The best to you. Torben
