    Hello well done my fellow American!!! I am from the USA and my parents are from Bolivia. Historically speaking the Charango is from Bolivia because it has history in Potosi where they found the first armadillos. This instrument was passed down from my father. I also play Charango as well!!!

      Error, the charango is an instrument that derived from the baroque guitar and its area of ​​origin is in the Andean area that covers Peru and Bolivia. By the time this instrument originated (during the colonial era) there was none of the political territorial division that gives rise to the current South American countries. The armadillo has nothing to do with the origin, since this instrument could be made with different materials.

      @@xarv368, your the one making the mistake! Don’t say something you know nothing about! What evidence does Peru have in having the Charango. I know this not only by having this in my Bolivian culture but having evidence. The next time you want to comment. Look at the evidence and don’t refute back to this unless you have evidence. Also the Charango isn’t an Andean instrument because it is an Instrument that is principally used in Bolivia. Making Bolivia the primary source of this instrument and it’s folk music. The instrument before that that inspired the Charango is called the Vihuela which is from Spain.

      From top (closet to your head) to bottom G-C-E-A-E . Remember that although you tune each set of two strings to the same pitch, they should be an octave apart. God bless all.

    Hey do you think you could show us how to know what string decimal goes to which, because right now I’m trying to fix my Charango strings and we can’t figure out what string, (and it seems there’s a decimal number for each string and we don’t know which one it goes to, for example there is the 0.019, 0.020, 0.025, 0.028, 0.030, and last 0.033) do you think you could show us which string goes to which bracket

      Charango does belong to Bolivia because it is where the Primary Source of folk and music come from. Peru doesn’t have that history. There is no evidence that points to Peru whatsoever.
