Bolivian Charango, APC

This Bolivian charango pairs traditional Andean character with quality tonewoods for a clear, expressive sound. The solid spruce top provides brightness, projection, and quick response, while the solid mahogany back and sides, carved from a single piece of wood, add warmth, depth, and a balanced midrange. Together, they produce the lively sparkle and rhythmic clarity that charangos are known for.

Made in Portugal by APC, this instrument is well suited to folk ensembles, solo performance, or players exploring South American music for the first time. A fine choice for musicians seeking an authentic charango with dependable materials and a vibrant, musical voice.
