The Villela VC-2 Bolivian Charango is a compact, ten-string (5-course) folk instrument built for traditional repertoire and contemporary fingerstyle playing. It features a small, rounded body and a short-scale neck that promotes quick fretting and bright, percussive tonal character. The instrument is typically strung in re-entrant tuning across its paired courses, producing chiming trebles and a lively midrange ideal for melodic runs, rhythmic strumming, and ensemble work.
