Description: A charango is a small, traditional South American stringed instrument of the lute family. It originates from the Andean regions of Bolivia, Peru, and other nearby countries. The charango typically has five pairs of strings and a distinctive, rounded body, it is traditionally made from wood or armadillo shells (Although we only work with wood) It is known for its bright and lively sound and is commonly used in traditional Andean folk music as well as contemporary styles. The most common tuning is the "standard" or "traditional" tuning, which is similar to the GCEAE tuning of a ukulele. The strings are arranged in five pairs (courses), with the highest pair (closest to the floor) being the G strings, followed by the C strings, E strings, A strings, and the lowest pair (closest to the player) being the E strings again, but an octave lower than the higher E strings. The standard tuning for the charango is as follows, from the top string (highest pitch) to the bottom string (lowest pitch): 1st pair: G (highest pitch) 2nd pair: C 3rd pair: E 4th pair: A 5th pair: E (lowest pitch) This item is ready to ship. BONUS: With your purchase we include a Travel Bag. It's worth noting that alternative tunings exist, and some players may experiment with different tunings to achieve specific musical styles or preferences. However, the standard tuning mentioned above is the most common and widely used tuning for the charango.
