I have had and currently have synthetic heads, on bongos and congas, I also know people that currently have synthetic skins, NEVER have to detune them, never have had nor do I know anyone who has had problems, either with hardware or with the synthetic head.
I would most definitely agree with natural heads but never with synthetic.
What's nice about synthetic is that they stay tuned forever, well almost .
One question I would ask is; "Has anybody here had any problems with a synthetic head or hardware as a result of not detuning".
My 2 cents.
Cheers.
