Magma Strings.
Strings for the Latin string family — tres cubano, guitarrón mexicano, timple canario. Nylon and gold-wound nylon, voiced for the rhythm sections of the Caribbean and the mariachi tradition.
The Latin strings.
Magma supplies the working Latin-American string player. TC100 for the tres cubano — six strings in three pairs, the percussive rhythm voice of Cuban son and the trova guitar tradition. GM100G for the guitarrón mexicano — six gold-alloy wound nylon strings, the bass voice of the mariachi.
And TCA100 for the timple canario — five nylon strings for the high-pitched Canarian timple, the picadillo voice that drives the folkloric ensembles of the islands. Three string sets, three regional traditions, manufactured for the long working life.

Magma string sets
Cuba, Mexico, the Canaries.
Three traditions in three sets. Cuba — the tres cubano, six strings in three courses, the snap of the Cuban son. Mexico — the guitarrón, the deep gold-wound bass of the mariachi line. The Canaries — the timple, five strings, the high voice of the Atlantic islands.
Magma manufactures with fine-quality materials selected for long life, powerful tones, and the intonation that holds across a long set. Designed for professional musicians of the working Latin ensemble — the trio, the mariachi, the rondalla.
