Description
This is an outstanding concert charango by Pedro Quispe Torrez, a high-quality instrument with a 38 cm scale length, designed for demanding musicians. It features an ebony fingerboard, and its understated yet elegant decoration reflects the refined craftsmanship of the luthier. Its defining feature is the media tapa, crafted from sotomare wood, which enhances its tonal personality. The jacaranda body and European spruce soundboard make it a top-tier charango, ensuring a deep, clear sound rich in harmonics.
Sonically, this charango stands out for its perfect balance from piano to forte, with a dynamic response that allows for natural expressive control. It delivers powerful projection, making it an excellent choice for live performances. It excels in both punteo and rasgueo techniques, offering a well-defined sound with immediate response. The sustain is remarkable, contributing to a full-bodied and articulate tone.
It is strung with Aquila Sugar strings, which further enhance its tonal qualities, providing brilliant sound and precise response across the entire dynamic range.
