    All was well but it would have been cooler if I would have been told my order was in but that is the worst of it and I can live with that.

    I'm using the head on a home made banjo-dulcimer. It sounds very good.

    Let me preface this by saying that I am very much an Evans man when it comes to drum heads. But when I bought my 7.5" x 14" Yamaha Nouveau brass snare for jazz gigs, I new which batter head was going on it. Nothing sounds more like vintage calf skin than Remo Fiber Skyns. Yes, that applies to toms and bass drums as well. The mark III version of the head is far more durable than the original Fiber Skyns introduced in the seventies, though I loved those too. These are the only heads I've ever tried that replicate the old school sound and feel of calf skin with the added benefit that they aren't subject to the excessive stretching, particularly in high humididty, that calf skin heads were infamous for. The balance of warmth, articulation abd just the right amount of overtones make this head perfect for jazz ensambles in small settings. Having said that, it sounds amazing miked up live and in the studio as well. In terms of using them on an entire kit, they provide a pleasant, controlled sound without the need for additional muting.

    Is this head suitable for an antique (1900-1920) banjolele? 

I am struggling to find options for 6" replacement heads and this looks like a good one.
