Postal envelop banjo plays!

Holy Cow! This thing sounds better than I expected... Go figure... Yes that is a real postal envelop for a banjo head. Works great. I didn't cut it. It's doubled up, in other words, just laid over the banjo pot and put on the way you would a regular skin. A little streatchy, but I like the sound. It's kind of cool....

I wonder how did you get the idea to try this? It's been a couple of years now; is the envelope still on there?

@PHJimY Yep..  They never wear out..

Is the head crankey during the Christmas rush? Did you need a flesh ring? I was going to try dog skin but I can't get Dot any where near my banjo.

@arthurj2520 Yes, I used a flesh ring.. Don't let Zacky hear you talkin' about dog skin..
