Mr Smakula is often the go-to for heads. He's got a great selection, and many are available without logos.

Indeed. He helped me size a new head, whole thing. Super friendly and fast response through email.
I looked today abd the size I need is out of stock. So I sent him an email seeing when they would be back in.
You're totally right, he's the cat to go through.

Eric Sullivan carries Fiberskyn in all heights, I believe low crown is 3/16" though.

I could probably use 1/8" myself but what I do is file down the metal hoop in the area where the neck goes, and I get an extra 16th that way. Doesn't hurt the function at all.

For clarity, Remo said they plan to ship next week. So it might be 2 or 3 weeks before I receive the big Remo box. I have had Remo orders make it to their shipping department, only to disappear. There may be a 15 year old order popping up when this one is shipped.
