Deep Creek Strings - Tackhead Banjo with Internal Tensioning

A full sized tackhead banjo from Deep Creek Strings. This instrument has an internal tension ring to tighten the calfskin head during humid days. The system works great! The tensioning hardware and the calf skin both from Mid-east Ethnic Musical Instruments.

For more information on this and other handcrafted folk instruments go to http://deepcreekstrings.blogspot.com

As an aside, my clawhammer playing is starting to improve.
