Guitarrón Chileno

Type: Chordophone, Pulsed
Origin: Chile, America

The Chilean guitarrón (Chilean guitarrón) is a chordophone that has 25 strings, grouped in five quintuple and sextuple orders along the neck, also presenting four simple strings outside the neck, called “diablitos”. This instrument clearly belongs to the guitar family, although its exclusive evolution in Chile has made it a unique example within this family, due to its large number of strings.
