Mylar vs Hide Banjo Heads: A Side by Side Comparison

I have run Renaissance heads on my banjos for almost two decades, and I thought this year it was time for some experimentation with real hide heads. I ordered a Menzies head mounted by John Balch and wanted to provide everyone with a side-by-side comparison of the two heads.
