  • Thank you! First timer here who just put a new head on my 1920's Le Domino banjo uke with perfect results! I was really intimidated but your instructions were super clear and easy to follow.

  • Similarly, thank you. I reskinned a 30s John Grey banjo-uke following your instructions and was delighted with the result. Excellent video sir!

  • Richie, many thanks for this very informative video of a clearly-demonstrated repair. I was able to use these instructions to replace the head on my 20s-era Gretsch Clarophone banjo-ukulele. It went perfectly.

  • thanks, spent many of summers as a kid in Saluda VA

  • Hey man I used this video to change an old family heirloom, Le domino skin. It worked like a charm. The only thing different I did was using kiddie scissors to cut the hide because the razor blade was scratching the tench in hoop. Cheers!
