I just bought (in fact not me, my wife... but she let me play on it...) a vintage tenor banjo, Weymann, short scale, here tuned in low g with nylgut strings.
So here is some Irish music on the banjo...

Very nice looking and sounding tenor banjo! What size of Aquilas are on it? Baritones?

It is a special set to have the tuning (low g) for the instrument size (51 cm of string length) and a medium tension, around 4-4.5 kg.
So I have this : (Aquila new nylgut)
46-60-76-100

Aside from the fact that the cap looks fantastic with the banjo uke, this is really great playing. And I like the sound, beautiful!
