Archangel heads are glued in place following the preparation procedures and are able to be removed and readjusted if the musician requires either a lesser or greater tuning range.

This is a relatively simple operation requiring only the glued edge to be fully moistened with wet towels, after several hours the head could be moved using the tensioning screws, the head could then have light pressure applied in the form of a tight bandage and allowed to dry for 48 hours.
