My supply of these patterend hides is LIMITED and dwindling.  My supplier is uncertain about future orders.  If you see one you like I recommedend: do not delay. Please see the note below about hides pictures on the site and availability. 
 
These SPOTTED & PATTERNED goat hides are chosen for quality and appearance, thickness.
 
The brass hoop in the photos is 12" for reference.   Patterns will fit differently on smaller rim sizes. 
 
Please specify your preferred hide by number (ex: SPOT 40 ...) in a message accompanying your order.  
 
PLEASE NOTE:  All of the hides pictured on this site are unique.  They are offered first-come-first served.  My website is unsophisticated - it doesn't remove the photo from inventory automatically when a hide is requested.  I don't monitor the orders in real time or even daily (in some cases). Some hides shown in the website may be sold and unavailable.  In other words, I may receive multiple requests for an individial skin before the photo is taken down.  In such cases, I may reach out to let you know that the hide you wanted is already sold and to assist you with a reselection.  SORRY for any inconvenience.  
 
SOMETIMES translucent areas become more opaque or off-white during mounting and stretching. White areas may develop around the perimiter during stretching too.  The finished appearance may be a little different than what you see in the images.
 
I may indicated the approximate thickness on each hide.  This is the average of about four (4) measurments around the perimiter.  These hides all have sturdy texture.  So for most banjos - .013in. - .016in. will be ideal.   Above or below that range will be "thin" or Thick" respectively.   If you have questions about suitability for you banjo, please ask. 
 
The photos are taken in natural light against a wood background.  Nothing was done to enhance them.  Some of the hides have significant tranlucense which make make the color contrast more subtle after mounting.  
 
All heads are pre-mounted and ready to install.  See the video on my website for illustration.
