Hi Bruce,
My answer is, "yes".  :?)

Ginny,
I have a book called "Dublin Banjos" by A.  Sullivan.
In it he describes tenor banjo tuning ( C, G, D, A)  and
"Irish" or "drop" tuning (G,D,A,E). But wouldn't that be a 4th lower  
rather than a 5th lower? Or is it up a 5th but down an octave?

I'm  trying to play Irish music with the C G D A tuning, which is sometimes 
 challenging.

Cheers,
