RemoCoated Topside Banjo Head 11-2/16 In Low
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 11-1/8 inch coated banjo head with a low 3/8 inch crown. Replacement part for banjo players who already know their rim size and crown height.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Banjos that came with a low-crown head from the factory
- Players wanting a warmer, less brittle attack than a clear head
- Replacing a dented, stretched or torn banjo head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Banjos needing medium or high crown — the fit differs
- Players chasing maximum brightness and cut
- Anyone unsure of their rim measurement
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Low crown, 3/8 inch
Crown is the height of the aluminum flesh hoop. It sets how the head sits over the rim and the tone ring.
Detail 03
Crown options: 3/8, 7/16, 1/2 inch
Low, medium and high. Matching your banjo's original crown keeps bridge height and action where you had them.
Detail 04
Coated surface
The textured coating damps some overtones and takes the edge off attack compared with a clear head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing head or rim before ordering — sizing is in sixteenths
- 02Head only. No bridge, hooks, or tension brackets included
- 03Expect to reset bridge position and re-check action after fitting
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What does low crown mean on a banjo head?
The flesh hoop is 3/8 inch tall. It determines how high the head sits over the rim. High is 1/2 inch, medium 7/16 inch.
02Will this fit an 11 inch banjo?
No. This is 11-2/16 inch, or 11-1/8. Banjo head sizes step in sixteenths and do not interchange.
03Coated or clear for banjo?
Coated gives a warmer, slightly softer attack with fewer high overtones. Clear is brighter and more cutting.
04Does the bridge need to move after installing?
Check it. Changing a head alters head height and tension, so re-check bridge placement and string action once tuned up.
