Martin 5-String Monel Wound Banjo Strings are crafted for players who demand vintage tone, silky feel, and long-lasting performance. Made with a solid Monel wrap wire—a nickel-based alloy known for its natural corrosion resistance—these strings deliver a warm, woody tone that complements the traditional character of open-back and resonator banjos alike. Ideal for bluegrass, old-time, and clawhammer styles, they offer a smooth playing experience with a naturally balanced sound.
The Monel wrap wire provides a mellow tone with enhanced midrange presence and reduced finger noise, while maintaining excellent intonation and tuning stability. Whether you're playing in a jam, on stage, or recording in the studio, these strings give your banjo a rich, expressive voice that stands the test of time.
