Keep an eye on ebay. I picked this one up for about £70, although it was a real wreck and needed quite a bit of work.
In good, playable condition I've seen them go for £300 - £500. They're a decent cheap alternative to Vegas...

Hello - I just purchased a 17 fret Slingerland Tenor just like yours, and am wondering what type and gage of strings you've found to work best for you. Can you help me out? Thanks!

Hi, I've really only tried out one type so far: Aquila nylguts. I realise this is unusual for tenor banjo but I just like the thick, plunky tone they give. I've had them on my 5 string banjos for a while now and I doubt I will ever go back to steel strings. For the tenor, I bought a classical guitar set as Aquila don't make anything specific to tenor banjo. I guess I wouldn't really recommend them if you play in a session context as they're unlikely to cut through fiddles/flute/boxes etc.

Thanks weepaull. For banjo tabs online I'd recommend the banjohangout. I play tunes from lots of different sources - many from books and some by ear from recordings. I got this particular version of Loch Lavan from a book of fiddle tunes. It's in music notation if that's any good to you. I can email it if you drop me a message with your email address. As you can see from the comments below, I've been asked by other people too...!
