Professional Concert-Grade Bolivian Charango – Kjarkas Model, Naranjillo & Ebony

Discover the bright, rich and expressive voice of the Bolivian charango, one of the most distinctive string instruments of the Andes.

This professional concert-grade Kjarkas model charango is handcrafted in Bolivia, combining traditional Andean instrument making with carefully selected natural woods and detailed artisan construction.

It is crafted from Naranjillo wood and features a spruce soundboard, an ebony fingerboard, nickel silver frets, and a bone nut and saddle.

The combination of Naranjillo, spruce and ebony gives the instrument an elegant appearance and the quality construction expected from a professional concert-level charango.

Its distinctive Kjarkas-style design, carefully finished body and contrasting ebony details give this charango a strong visual character, while its professional construction makes it an excellent option for experienced musicians, performers and players looking for a high-quality Bolivian instrument.

Each charango is individually handcrafted. Because natural woods and artisan methods are used, subtle variations in wood grain, color, decorative details, headstock and other aesthetic characteristics are natural and make each instrument unique.

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 charango currently available. We will never substitute the instrument shown with another one without contacting you first.

Any alternative charango offered through this listing will have a similar professional concert level, materials, construction and characteristics. However, because every instrument is 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.
