Calfskin head on a 12-inch pot split unexpectedly during a week of mid-70s weather with 50 percent + or - humidity.

I have split a couple myself, but always at the hoop and never in the middle like that. I suspect there was a weak spot in the hide. It's natural! You still got a few years out of it. They can last a few years or a hundred years! Sorry your split.

Thanks, Tom. The posters to my query in the banjo building, setup and repair forum concur with yours. So I'll soon be putting a new skin head on it.
