Charango

A bit of music we had today.

Walked in a music Store, nice Dad - Son couple running this store. got to know an Peruvian/Bolivian 10 string instrument, called 'Charango'. strings are tuned unison, except the middle Strings that have an octave difference.

The Charango is smaller than the ukulele but personally I prefer the Charango sound. Hundert (s) years ago, They used to build it with the Corpus of an Armadillo. This one, luckily, was made of wood.

They also had a Violin for me to play with and I was the first one who ever played some notes on her. Made in Germany, the stamp inside the corpus said. Haha. Not really.

And a very little guitar session, eventho my mum missed our December lesson, as she is a fantastic guitarist and I'm starving for some lessons with her.

Basi tried an Okarina that she used to know before from a friend.
