I played a banjo, with one of these mounted, many years ago up at Gruhn's in Nashville and was surprised at the sound. Really, it didn't sound much different than calfskin. If it were in better condition, I would bid on it.

I had a similar thought the first time I laid eyes on a cumbus/jumbush, the Turkish "banjo". My first thought was not "how does it sound" or "how is tuned" but " I wonder if you can make popcorn in it".
