Hi everyone, first post here. I've been itching to get involved in the local traditional scene but don't know where to start. I want to take up a new instrument (already play guitar) and start practicing some tunes by myself. I'm just not sure which instrument, it's between mandolin, bouzouki, and tenor banjo. I know this forum might be a little biased 😁. Mandolin sounds nice and can do BG as well, but it's cramped and quiet. Bouzouki has the advantage of a similar scale to guitar and songs can be played on it, but some say tunes are difficult. Banjo has a great tone and the perfect scale length, but I don't think I'll be playing airs on it. Perfect world would be all three, but I'm on a €250 budget, so any advice? (Sorry if this is the wrong place , feel free to move it.)
