Believe it or not, I found a real one this weekend fopr a crazy nice price,
which is why I asked about the skins.  I've been religously protecting it
from elements and being tender playing it, but I'm about to be even more
careful, based on what you said:)  I have to say, though, that nothing
matches the ability to tune a real skin head with water and/or heat!  I
guess with a remo you never have to tune it, but what's fun with that?
