Hey thanks for the info, I had some experimenting in mind with a renaissance head. I may eventually try something but maybe not. FYI I got the hardware kit banjo dialed in majorly and I am really loving the sound. I ended up making a few bridges and settled on one made of padouk. To my ears it gives a nice clucky round sound with good tight low end. It is my only fretted banjo and only one currently with steel strings so I have been using it a lot in a little jam session. I plan to install brass or bamboo side dot markers when it needs a string change. May want to throw aquila reds on it too just to see.
If I end up getting a head that fits Ill post in here so others can know.

Cheers
