I'm thinking of removing the resonator & flange from my late 70s jug . I'm interested in learning to play clawhammer or frailling and it seems most people prefer an openback for this style. It looks to be easy to do , remove the resonator then remove one flange and reinstall J hooks

and do the other side. Is there anything I'm missing?

I recently put my flange plates and resonator back on to play some bluegrass again, but after about a week, I was missing the warmer tone and lighter weight of my Juggernaut as an open back so I switched back. ***I would recommend that you just take BOTH flange plates off at the same time because I found it harder to keep the head tension even as I was tightening it up when I did one flange plate at a time. I also suggest using a drum dial when tensioning the head. Lastly, my current favorite head is the Reanaissance head for both look feel and tone. Good luck and please post photos of your transformation! Dan
