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/Bolivinan 10 string instrument, called "Charango". strings are tuned unisono ,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 guitarista and I'm starving for some lessons with her.

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