Rich, Full Bodied, Fresh, Crisp, Soothing, Energetic Tone
The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing musical instruments that are acknowledged as the finest in the world for well over a century and a half. Through the years, Martin & Co. has managed to survive from generation to generation, from C.F. Martin Sr.'s Stauffer influenced creations in the 1830's to recent developments introduced by C.F. Martin IV. Six generations have managed to continuously operate Martin & Co. as a family-owned business. This remarkable feat is one of many that set Martin apart in the music industry as one with staying power.
Throughout their history, Martin has been able to adapt to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the need for these changes, Martin has never veered away from their commitment to quality. The strategy of producing the finest musical instruments available has been evident since 1833, and especially today at the expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
The focus on quality carries through to their guitar string production as well.
80/20 Bronze
Martin makes the 80/20 Bronze mandolin strings with an alloy that is 80% copper and 20% zinc. It is an extremely popular alloy in mandolin strings because it provides a very brilliant tone when they are put on the mandolin and they tend to mellow over time.
