Dynamics: 1st Banjo vs 2nd Banjo...

Question for the floor...

I'm tabbing out "Mr. Jollyboy" and am to the point where I'm notating dynamics. The 1st Banjo part has lots of dynamic markings: mf, ff, f, p, etc. However, the 2nd Banjo part has only a single "mf" at the beginning.

Do I simply plunk along in "mf" or should I vary along with the 1st Banjo?

I'm inclined to just "mf" till the cows come home and let the 1st banjo be louder or softer than myself as notated...but I feel I may be missing something, perhaps implied.

???

Well, I was more worried about performance than the sheetmusic. I've left the TAB marked per the original.

I've now looked at a couple of pieces from this aspect and I find some are marked identically (1st vs 2nd) and some have significant differences. I guess I'll just play them as marked and see what happens!
