Nothing at all wrong with that method Chet. And that IS a good book. I just went looking for my catalogue with small heads and shin sheets and its lost somewhere in the clutter of this room. When I locate it I'll pass the stuff on. Also, Stewart-MacDonald Guitar Shop Supply (about 40 miles from me) used to stock a lot of banjo parts at pretty reasonable prices. You can get their catalog...fun reading too. Their web is at www.stewmac.comSpaw
