Recently, I purchased a Style B tenor. I would like to try a Renaissance head on it. I checked an online retailer and there are a myriad of choices based on diameter and crown height. Can anyone tell me which specific head I should order?

thanks

If you're in doubt I'd say go with a medium or low crown but the 11 1/4" diameter is good
