I listen to a lot of Irish folk music, specifically the Dubliners. I am interested in learning the banjo, but I am struggling to decide between 4 string tenor and the five string banjo.

Do you guys have any input on this matter? The GDAE stringing on the tenor makes it the same as a mandolin, which is another instrument that interests me.

I have decided I would rather be Earl Scruggs over Barney McKenna. I guess I am going to buy a Deering Goodtime.
