Mats Olsson. Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 It's a charango. They are very common instruments in Chile (and probably other latin countries as well). /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want? Procrastination! When do we want it? Later!

fantasticsound Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Charangos actually predate the modern day guitar, and are considered a a direct ancestor of the classical guitar.

BiC Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 Originally posted by DARKLAVA: Bic where have you been mister?What happen with the JCM 900? I've been on vacation, and busy busy busy. Finally got the JCM 900 out of the shop. They had to replace the "heart" of it. I forgot the technical term... Anyways, it costs me about $250. The weird thing is that I have no more than 20 hours of play logged on it. But I did buy it in 1994, and it was in storage for a few years. I'm in the military, and that amp was in storage for 1 year when I went to Korea. Actually, that was a few months after I bought it. Then with all the moving around I do every couple of years, I guess that takes its toll on the amp itself. But I believe having it in storage "did it in". I just need to learn to burn that dust off the tubes from time to time. BTW, when I went to pick it up, the salesman went to the repairman to get it for me. I opened up the box to look at it, making sure it was mine. The salesman thought it was a BRAND NEW head. He thought he gave me the wrong one. I said, "NOPE!", that's mine alright. I told him, although it's 10 years old, it looks new because I hardly played through it! Peace!

I've seen pics of the armodillo-backed variety and, while they look pretty cool and exotic and all, I bet the wooden one sounds better. Although, that might be a very subjective judgement call! Maybe the armadillo style sounds more authentic... less sustain, more funky rattle and everything... anybody got any input here? They're tuned G-C-E-A-E, low to high, I believe. I think it was Joe Gore who did an article on them and applying their playing-style to the guitar, in Guitar Player magazine, years ago. I'd bet a six-course charango, with added low-A's, would be cool, too! (I've always got to conform to the dimensions and features of the guitar where I can, even if the scale and tuning is different!) Gato- Cool chord charts! http://www.inet.hr/~abubalo/pictures/small/jimimitch.jpg DARKLAVA- Hey, is that Jimiadoc Hendwender hangin' with Bilbo Baggins?! Get outta here, that cat's outta-sight!!

Not only that, but the armadillo back has sharp hairs on it that can really make it uncomfortable to play ! P.S. I wonder if this is where Ovation got its inspiration?
