Natural (unbleached) goat hide. 

 

3-star grade ... standard quality. Affordable, reliable and great sounding. 

 

These are thinner hides (average: .012 - .013" +/-). Thin hides sound responsive and maybe a little brighter than medium & thick.  They may be a little more susceptible to weather (humidity) fluctuations.  The might break more easily - if stressed too much.  But I have thin goat hides on my instruments that have been reliable for a LONG time - and sound great.  I particularly like these on wood rims (Tradesman and others), Dobson tone rings, and vintage, thin-rim, spun-over instruments. 

 

Natural patterns. Most are mottled with a mix of opaque (off-white) and translucent areas.   Choice of pattern not offered.  

 

Available to mount in the following sizes:

 

10 15/16" (Vega & Rickard)

11"

11 13/16" (Vega)

12"

some larger sizes are possible - please inquire before ordering. 

 

Note:  For an upcharge - a spiral wound flesh hoop can be added (to any head).  That detail looks especially nice with thin hide!

3-star grade - thin - goat hide - premounted head - choice of size
