Features Soundbox:White Spruce Pine Fingerboard: Ebony Type of wood: Tarco Soundhole: Round Strings:Nylon Tuning Pegs: Metalic Material Bridge: Los Andesn Jacaranda and bone frets General Features:Nacar inlays and heel carving style Tuning:The "re" charangon ( a "5th" below a standard charango) is typically tuned: do-do, fa-fa, la-LA, re-re, la-la (cc,ff,aA,dd,aa) where the "la" ("a") is "concert a" (between 415 and 450 Hz). Note that this will play a D minor 7th chord with the open strings. (In the above example, the "la" is the course closest to the floor in normal right-handed convention).The tuning above is re-entrant, so that the "do" of the 5th course is only one whole tone below the "re" course.Other charangons are typically tuned with the same pattern, but may be either a whole tone up or down, or even a 4th lower. Sometimes courses other than the middle course have octave strings (typically a lower octave than shown).

Its general shape and construction are very similar to the charango, but it is larger and is typically pitched 3 or 4 diatonic intervals lower (a "4th" or a "5th respectively) than a standard charango.It has 10 nylon strings grouped in 5 pairs. |
