Just ask and we will let you know which one is the best  for you.Tuning:The charango has five pairs (or courses) of strings, typically tuned GCEAE. This tuning, disregarding octaves, is similar to the typical C-tuning of the ukulele or the Venezuelan cuatro, with the addition of a second E-course. Unlike most other stringed instruments, all ten strings are tuned inside one octave. The five courses are pitched as follows (from 5th to 1st course): gg cc eE aa ee. Some charanguistas use "octave" strings on other pairs in addition to the middle course. Note that the lowest pitch is the 1st "E" string in the middle course, followed by the "g" course, then the "a" course, then the "c" and finally the "e" strings. This tuning pattern is known as a re-entrant pattern because the pitches of the strings do not rise steadily from one string or course to the next.Approx.Size:Lenght: 66 cm. (25.98")Widht: 18 cm. ( 7,08").There are many stories of how the charango came to be made with its distinctive diminutive soundbox of armadillo. One story says that the native musicians liked the sound the vihuela ( an ancestor of the Classical Guitar) made, but lacked the technology to shape the wood in that manner. Another story says that the Spaniards prohibited natives from practicing their ancestral music, and that the charango was a (successful) attempt to make a lute that could be easily hidden under a garment. It is believed the charango originated in the 18th century Andes somewhere in modern-day PotosîÎ Bolivia, probably from Amerindian contact with Spanish settlers.

As a rare "technology based" business in a pre-emerging economy, BoliviaMall has been able to take advantage of the internet to open global markets for more than 5000 Bolivian products. These markets would otherwise be unreachable to most of the 150 artisans and small firms that manufacture BoliviaMall's products, which in turn employ more than 750 workers. BoliviaMall's has customers in more than sixty other countries around the world. New markets mean support for industries that have been crippled by piracy such as publishing and record companies. BoliviaMall.com is one of the few businesses in Bolivia who sells only copyrighted material. We feel that in that way we are protecting an industry that is closely tied with our culture and arts.   Wholesale Opportunities Other Designs Available   Charangon  Charangon Charango   We are always looking for new distributors of our products.
