Absolutely breath taking video man. Love it

[billkilpatrick]

grazie!

traditionally it's tuned gg-cc-eE-a'a'-e'e' re-entrant tuning.  mine is tuned gg-cc-eE-a'a'-d'd'.

Another great tune. I just noticed the finger board is unfretted near the sound hole for a couple inches. Odd.

twelfth fret haiku:

below the 12th fret

each note rings true, sweet and clear

above 12 they "tink"

[billkilpatrick]

and for good measure ..

macho man hip thrust

"tinky-tink" cacophony

beyond the 12th fret

Very nice. I'm just a bluegrassy type, but I'll give you my highest compliment by saying it has the old, chamber kind of sound. Awesome!

lovely  the folia on the charango!

..i had never seen charango played with plectrum!! only the chillador ...a kind of small charango with metal stringing...

sounds lovely anyway.

This is great. Usually I like to 'taste test' musical pieces on YouTube, but always feel in a hurry to rush off to taste test other music playing, and seldom listen all the way through. I didn't have the slightest notion of rushing off till this was completely done . . . then I played it over again. Great playing, and yes, mesmerizing. Now...I have to rush off.

[CollingsPicker]

Wow! Impressive, Very nice. I never seen anything like that before!

[diptanshu]

hypnotic indeed!

Terrific! -Ron

Beautiful... I have a charango that I simply don't play enough, and this makes me want to go take it out of hiding! (I tune mine GCFAD) Excellently performed.

[UkuleleIgor]

Very beautiful! ***** from Igor

What a fine piece of music this is - and it works really well on you lovely little charango!

Thanks for commenting on mine.

[susiakasinead]

Very very nice sounding. I've never heard of that instrument. How is it tuned?

[grittyarts]

Sooo beautiful I have tears in my eyes.

[oscilis]

Joyful playing.

[neothomist1275]

Classic progression.

What is the exact make and model of that instrument? I may want to pick one up ;)

[SuperTramber]

This is beautiful. In fact I didn't think it would sound so good being played with a pick. Maybe it helps making it sound like a baroque guitar.

Sweet sound - amazing talent!

Mi opinion es que el charango es un instrumento para tocarse a mano libre con la longitud de uñas adecuado para lograr un sonido cristalino y limpio en razgueos, trino, tipies y punteos que la musica andiana ofrece y ahora tambien la musica a nivel mundial.

Me alora...Cada quien su estilo

Pero de todas maneras felicidades y saludos desde Mexico.

grazie tanti...ciao.
