Martin Vega V720 Tenor Banjo Strings 9-30 | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Martin Vega V720 Tenor Banjo Strings bring over a century of fine craftsmanship to your tenor banjo, combining the legendary Vega name with Martin's carefully selected nickel/steel alloy for smooth, consistent tone across all four strings. Tuned G-C-D-A and gauged .009–.030, the V720 set delivers the balanced tension and reliable intonation that tenor banjo players need for everything from traditional Irish and Celtic music to classic jazz and Dixieland. Whether you're a seasoned performer or a dedicated student of the tenor banjo, Martin's Vega strings offer the tonal quality and playing consistency that a heritage brand built since 1889 is known for.
Product Overview
Martin selected a nickel/steel alloy for the Vega string series specifically for its tonal qualities and smooth, consistent feel — a combination that suits the full range of tenor banjo playing styles. The alloy produces a warm, articulate tone with enough brightness to cut through an ensemble, while the smooth surface feels comfortable under the fingers during extended playing sessions and fast melodic runs.
The V720 is gauged for standard tenor banjo tuning (G-C-D-A) at .009, .016, .023, .030 — a set tension of 85 that provides a firm, responsive feel with enough give for comfortable fretting and confident chord work. The tension balance across all four strings is carefully calibrated to keep intonation consistent from the low G up through the high A, giving you reliable pitch accuracy whether you're playing single-note melody lines or full chord voicings.
The Vega name has been synonymous with quality banjo craftsmanship since 1889, and Martin has honored that legacy by engineering these strings to perform equally well across all styles of tenor banjo playing — from the driving rhythm of Dixieland jazz to the ornamented melodic lines of Irish traditional music. Players at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls trust Martin's Vega series as a dependable, consistently performing string that respects the instrument's rich heritage.
