The name Vega has been synonymous with quality-crafted banjos for well over a century, and C.F. Martin & Company have applied the name and the same high-quality standards to the production of their Vega Monel-wound, tin-plated steel core banjo strings. Martin selected Monel-wound wire for its rich tonal quality, smooth consistency, and long-lasting durability, making these strings ideal for all playing styles.
