The Instrument Shown in the Photographs

The exact charango shown in the photographs is currently available. If it is still available at the time of your purchase, this is the exact instrument you will receive.

Because our instruments may also be available through our physical store in Bolivia, there is a possibility that the instrument shown could be sold there before the online listing is updated.

If this happens, we will contact you before shipping and show you photographs, sound samples or a video of the Chasqui charango currently available. We will never substitute the instrument shown with another one without contacting you first.

Any alternative instrument offered through this listing will have a similar professional concert level, materials, construction and characteristics. However, because these instruments are individually handcrafted from natural woods, no two charangos are exactly alike.

You are always welcome to contact us before purchasing to confirm availability or to request additional photographs, a sound sample or a video of the exact instrument.

Each instrument is carefully prepared in Bolivia, home of the charango tradition.
