Evolution of the Charango
The charango’s history traces back to the indigenous people of the Andes during the Spanish colonization of South America. It was inspired by the vihuela, a stringed instrument brought by Spanish settlers. Early charangoes were crafted using armadillo shells as the body, giving it a unique tone and appearance.
Over time, the charango evolved into a more standardized wooden-bodied instrument, offering greater resonance and durability. Today, modern charangoes like the G10 are made with high-quality tonewoods, combining traditional construction with refined acoustic performance. With 10 strings arranged in five courses, it produces a bright, rich sound that can mimic both guitar and mandolin tones.
