Calf Skin Vellum
BANJO VELLUM
HIGH QUALITY CALF SKIN
HAND PICKED
Perhaps not the cheapest vellums money can buy but undoubtedly the best – clean, white, of an even thickness and no tiny holes. Many players prefer a calf skin vellum because they claim they produce a warm superior tone compared to a plastic head.
You must allow at least a 3″ overlap when fitting a calf skin banjo head. A 14″ vellum is suitable for a banjo with an 11″ head diameter or less and a 15″ vellum is suitable for banjos with a 12″ head diameter.

I’ve fitted a few vellums over the years, but this is by far the best quality! Even texture and colour, great strength, no pinholes at all. Yes they are more expensive than eBay cheapies but this vellum makes fitting much easier and gives excellent tone. Thanks Clem!
