The Vega Style M Tubaphone is a four-string tenor banjo built during the peak of Vega’s early 20th-century production period. It features the signature Tubaphone tone ring design, developed to increase projection and tonal clarity, along with a maple rim and neck construction typical of Vega tenor models from this era. This instrument was commonly built with a 17-fret tenor neck and was widely used in jazz and dance band settings of the 1920s.
