The Charango is part of a family of instruments used in Andean Folk music. I picked this up at a flea market for $50. It was marked "Armadillo Uke"! Some internet research showed instruments made by "Gamboa" (primary luthier of Charangos) price in the lower to mid hundreds at least :) There's more info on this and other instruments at http://www.toddgreen.com! God, forgive me neither for what I know nor do but for not knowing what I did the night before! -FB [ Edited by: FreakBear on 2004-12-09 21:02 ]
