Constructive features

Rope shot: 556mm
The harmonic lid consists of 5 fan spinel and harmonic bar with slight curvature. The latter is done to reinforce the box vault and improve the sound response to the vibrating stimulus of the string press.
The background also has curvature, chasing the same end.
For the hoop greater flexibility of the material is sought, giving it a thinner thickness than in the lid and bottom, since it acts as a bellows between the two boards. Solid counterhails give greater strength and better vibratory response.

The Venezuelan four, The Four is a Venezuelan musical instrument that is a distant relative of the old European guitars. This consists, as the name suggests, of four strings. It is used in both rural and urban areas of the country. It was originally used as an accompaniment to milking songs, which was what gave rise to the Venezuelan tune. Not to be confused with the current four Puerto Ricans of five orders and ten metal ropes. also called four plainsmen, four traditional, four Creole or just four, is a pulsed string instrument that has four orders tuned due to: the, re, fa, and yes, the peculiar tuning—not entirely ascending—is a very distinctive element of other string instruments. It belongs to the family of the old Spanish guitars and guitarrillas, is of small size and owes its name to the number of strings it possesses. Not to be confused with the current four Puerto Ricans of five orders and ten metal ropes.

It is a typical instrument and the most emblematic of Venezuelan music. It is used in both rural and urban areas. Its nylon strings produce a beautiful, melancholy but sober sound. It is executed as an accompanying instrument or as a solo instrument. This latest form of execution has undergone remarkable development in recent decades.

In Venezuela it runs almost all of the folk music genres: the gaita zuliana, the calypso of El Callao, the carols, the aguinaldos and the parranda, the galleon, the polo, the jota, the malaga, the waltz, the meringue, the gun music, the peasant music, the double step, the fulía, the tune, the polka, the orchid rhythm, the emblematic harp joropo , four and maracas, among others.
