I want to hang my Wildwood Troubadour from a quality well secured String Swing Banjo Hanger but wonder if it is a little heavy to hang by the head stock. Will it distort the neck over time etc? How do you keep yours? Case or hanger?

Now we do not have little feet and fingers about so we are comfortable. When the G kids are visiting everything gets cased up. We are in Northern Arizona and it gets pretty dry so we keep a humidifier running at 40% year round. BTW I have an Artist Resonator and love it. Twice now at Banjo Camp Alan Munde has complemented "sounds really nice" :-)
