Thread Name: Tambourine head replacemnet
Subject: RE: Tambourine head restore/replace?
I've come into possession of a Paramount? Tambourine w/ skin head.
This is a 10" model No. 7770. It has been in its box inside another
box 30 to 50 years. To say it's dry is putting it mildy. The skin is taunt over roughly 50% and slack over the rest. There is evidence that the skin shrunk sometime in the past as it looks like it pulled out from under the tacks holding it. Several tacks were repositioned. The skin is also bunched up between some of the tacks. How do I restore this skin or should I replace it?
