Washburn International purchases Vinci Musical Strings

Washburn International is proud to announce the purchase of the U.S. Music Corporation, manufacturer of Vinci Musical Strings.

“The acquisition of Vinci is a building block for the further growth of Washburn. It allows us to become more valuable to our dealers by offering a superior product at more competitive pricing,” said Rudy Schlacher, President of Washburn International.

During the mid-1950s, Mr. Amelio Vinci and his son Tom revolutionized the string industry with the invention of the automatic string machine, making it possible to wind a string in a fraction of the time it took by hand. Together they secured their patents and started selling their machines to string and guitar manufacturers all over the world. Today, most major string manufacturers in the United States are using Vinci’s machines.

Vinci Strings are made using a fine Swedish steel core. The electric strings are wound with an iron coated steel which produces a higher magnetic response than the more commonly used nickels, and the acoustic strings are wound with either 80/20 brass or phosphor bronze which delivers a much brighter response. Each string is carefully wound with precise tension, which delivers consistency in tone and a long life.

Many celebrated musicians such as Carlos Santana, Al DiMeola, and Jerry Garcia have trusted Vinci Strings for their great projection and sustain.
