I am looking at buying a short scale goldtone 5 string banjo and am wondering if there are strings that i can use that will allow me to play in either tenor or irish tenor tuning or open G 5 string tuning? Or if there are strings that allow me to play in either a bluegrass style and a tenor style on the same instrument?

I have a Gold Tone neck that size mounted to a pot made by Dan Pennington (birch block/whyte laydie). I have just changed from GHS PF 150's to GHS PF 160's and I like the change. I play CH and these strings with the heavier 4th are better IMO than the 150's in open G and in the other tunings. Might be worth a try.
