Vega Banjo Nickel Wound - V730
Retail $7.30
Pickin Parlor Price $5.85
The name Vega has been synonymous with fine quality-crafted banjos since 1889.
Our combined experience in instrument making, string winding, and comprehensive
sound testing make Vega Strings the best choice for your banjo. All raw
materials are of premium quality to assure brilliance, clarity, and longevity.
We have selected a nickel/steel alloy for its tonal qualities which are best
suited to accent the strong resonating tendencies of most banjos. In addition,
Vega strings are highly resistant to corrosion. The smooth consistency of the
wrap wires makes them ideal for all styles of banjo playing, whether it be the
short, snappy plectrum style; the quick, flowing Scruggs style; or the rhythm
driving frailing technique. All strings are chenilled as an ultimate symbol of
quality and to eliminate unwanted overtones between the bridge and tail-piece.
