| Claude B | | CHARANGO DE CONCIERTO DE TATU DE GERMAN RIVAS CON INCRUSTACIONES DE NACAR - PEDRO SOTO | Hola:
Feliz ano nuevo, El soto ha llegado es un hermoso instrumento. Me gusta mucho.
Muchas gracias.
Now in english.
I am very happy, thanks to Pedro for the beautiful custom work. Tell him that this charango is even better than the German Rivas I had. I asked you a 37 cm scale to put all aquila (small one break passed 37cm) but I got a 39 cm. I am very happy with it and I put Medina Atigas for the 3 small ones...
Thank you again. As always we can trust you.
Long life to Tiendas

| Richard P. | | About The Hawaian Koa Vihuela (ZAL021) | Malu:
I just received my vihuela today. It is a beautiful work of art, and it sounds great! I checked your website again, and the Hawaiian Koa vihuela is back at regular price. Do you expect it will go on sale again? I would have wanted to purchase another one under the sale price. Thanks for all your prompt replies.
Thanks, Richard

| Robert A. | | About Concert Baroque Guitar [ZAL016] | I have received the Concert Baroque Guitar and have had a week to play it.
One of the additions from the previous picture is a beautifully carved rose. It is most welcome.
The guitar is nicely crafted, the wood resonant, and the sound even and clear throughout the range. The size of the instrument is just right for the hands when playing from Baroque tablature.
Any guitarist competent on early instruments could replace the nylon frets and strings with gut and adjust the action. However, the instrument is fine the way it is, and the tonal quality most excellent.
Thanks to the fine luthiers and to TiendasLatinas,.

| Richard V. | | About a Custom made Vihuela Española | I just received my new vihuela de mano. (It arrived last week, but I was away at the time). It is wonderful! Please convey my thanks and admiration to the master craftsmen who produced it. They did a spendid job, and I am very appreciative of all the extra touches they put in. (This kind of instrument might be a good addition to their market -- replicas of historical instruments made in the USA or in Europe are very expensive, and there seem to be many people interested in them. The quality of the instruments they made for me is excellent, and I think that if early-instrument enthusiasts could know about the possibility of having a vihuela or baroque guitar made at a price well below the competition, they would jump at the chance to buy one. There are several US websites dedicated to ancient instruments -- it might be worth looking into getting a listing on them as a source for nstruments.)
Thanks once again, and best regards -
Richard

| Claude Brun | | Custom made charango by Pedro Soto | I just got it and change strings (aquila) light gauge.Soon they will be a hit when the musicians will know it.I am happy that you carry them. The metal strings will go on a special Acha charangon. I am happy with the CDs and always happy with you.
>I saw that Jorge Martinez opened a wbsite too. Bolivian stuff it is called but I am loyal to tiendas, you always improve it. I will let you know about the sound when the strings will be on. I will be interested in a hard case from inti and more mettal strings soon. I will pay them.I will order a method and some Cds too.
Can you tell me if the hermosa charangos are popular? which brand is the biggest hit? just for info.I did a slideshow since 2002 about charango with pictures from the internet.If you want one I will be pleased to send it to you. I made it with Power point. I hope to come back one day to Cochabamba and Aiquile

| Bruno Gustavo Tavares | | ZAL013 Baroque Guitar | Dear Malu,
I received the instrument on monday if i am not mistaken. The instrument is beautiful but i have to make some notes on it: i ordered gut frets and came nylon frets. the instrument is well made, the finishing is beautiful but tell the instrument maker >that the bridge is too high difficulting the action of the left hand. The spruce top could be thinner so that way would improve the sound, also if he could make the body of the instrument 5 cms longer (including the string lengh at least 65,5 cms at least) it would be closer to the standards of the european baroque guitars and people would not have to make any adjustments.
Thank you for the attention!

| Richard Viladesau | | Guitarra Barroca of Martin Zapala (ZAL013) | I take great pleasure in the last instrument that I received -- as you may recall, it was a special order of a jarana made like a baroque guitar. The maker did a beautiful job.
I am now wondering whether he can make me another instrument, similar to the last one in size and shape, but this time with six courses (total of 12 strings). Again, I would like it to be with tied frets instead of metal frets, wooden tuning pegs, and with the fretboard flush with the body of the guitar.
If this would be possible, would you kindly let me know how much it would cost?
Thanks once again for your wonderful service.

| Richard Viladesau | | Writes about his Mexican made instruments. | I am absolutely delighted with my jarana veracruzana. So much so, that I am
wondering whether Maestro Zapala can make me another similar one, but with
one modification. Would it be possible to make a jarana with 9 strings,
instead of 8 that is, with four double courses, and only one single
course? (The single course would be the highest note, the bottom course on
the instrument, as in a baroque guitar). I would also wish the traditional
wooden tuning pegs, instead of machines, and nylon frets instead of metal
(same as in the instrument I have now). Please let me know whether such an
instrument can be made, and, if so, what the additional cost would be.
Thanks very much

Congratulations to offer Juan 's charangos.I have 2 from him one custom made en SI and a concert one.He is among the best.
When the Pedro Soto will be ready let me know that I send the money.I might send it with western union instead of visa depending if the new one will be ready .Is this way of payment works for you? you are the best website for good instruments and it is nice to know whom we buy from.Others don't want to give the builder's name and charge too much.
