	J-Walk says: 3/8/2013 5:17:23 PM I have two Brooks banjos with skin heads. One I've had for 2 years, the other is pretty recent. The older one has not had a problem in Tucson. It's normally very dry, but in the summer the monsoons come, and it gets humid very quickly. Not enough data to comment on the 2nd one -- but I expect it to be the same.
	Banjolution says: 3/8/2013 5:50:45 PM I should have been more specific. Im wondering how Brooks' heads do in weather where the humidity changes like 60% in one day. Im wondering if I should start over with a new skin,and try the Brooks method of settling it in, AND waterproof it and see what happens. Thanks for the input J-Walk!
