This concert charango crafted by Samuel Merida, the eldest of the renowned Merida Brothers, is a true tribute to tradition and craftsmanship. A multiple award winner at the Aiquile Charango Festival, Samuel is known for his instruments that draw inspiration from classic forms. This boca mariposa charango is a remarkable example: the boca mariposa design faithfully recalls the ancient designs, distinct from modern interpretations.

The shape of the soundbox is gentle and tapered, reminiscent of the iconic Orosco and Gamboa charangos. Featuring a 38 cm scale, it is made from jacarandá wood and an ebony fingerboard, ensuring a deep, balanced, and refined sound. Every detail reflects Samuel Merida’s passion for tradition, making this charango the perfect instrument for those seeking authenticity and superior sound quality. It is an instrument which leads maximum quality to the musician, thanks to a very good dynamic range which ensures the best results, in particular for the punteo.
