Banjos vs. Mandolin. Which would you rather?

    I hear talk of a possible banjo being added with HD. In my opinion this is a mistake. That the mandolin is a much better, more pirate fitting instrument. Assuming we need to choose and Rare doesnt add BOTH. But...

    Need I say more? However Im sure everyone has their favorites so WHAT SAY YOU?! Banjo or mandolin? Also im sure this a bit much to ask, but would it be possible for Rare to mo-cap the finger motions of the people playing the instruments? Id love it to see players actually playing the instruments.

    Actually, I'd prefer a ukulele.

    Mandolins are awesome so are fiddles and banjos.

    A mandolin does seem a better fit. But, what about a tin whistle, a drum or even a fiddle?

    The thing is, the banjo is already in the game (legendary hideout performer).
    We also were informed the banjo and drum were coming.

    Forgetting that - yeah, I, personally, prefer the mandolin. I'm honestly not up on the preferred musical instruments of 1702 pirates - so, I don't know what makes historical sense.
    I was wondering if the banjo has something to do with another of Rare's famous old character/games.

    As much as I'd like these rather than the drum, the drum is the only instrument coming guys. Sorry. Here's the new website for the Hungering Deep in case you've not seen it:

    Seriously, when a title is this light on content, you must DEMAND BOTH.

    I want the banjo in game personally if I had to choose. I’d obviously want both though.

    Banjo sounds fine to me, even if mandolin would be better. But what I'd really like is a pipe of some kind... maybe with Jolly Roger's Lagoon and Gangplank Galleon shanties to go with it...

    Mondolin, all the way.
