Exporting them is illegal and the species is now endangered. They are cheap unprofessional instruments and the sound they produce is inferior. Give the poor animal a break and buy a decent wooden one. They sound better, last longer and are much nicer to play.

Didmt know what I was looking at but thought it was just some kind of cool guitar. Now that I know what I'm look at, the next time I go back to Ecuador I will get 10 of them. They were only $65.00.

Yesterday 1600 Charango players got together in Cochabamba Bolivia and got in the Guinness Book of World Records for playing live at the same time. The prior record was 1000. I love that slowly but surely the instrument is getting more ans around the world. Luis Truly a great instrument.
