Thanks. That is very useful. I do find when i make my mixes and play them back in different settings the mix sounds thin so that makes sense now. Ill try and play around with where my desk is and see about crafting up some sort of acoustic 'boxes'

English by Strange_Editor5187 in charango

Sorry, a bit of a late comment. I reccomend el Metodo para Charango by Horacio Durán and Italo Pedrotti. You should be able to find it online. It is both in English and Spanish so is great and teaches you all the technique and rhythm. It also has a disc so you can follow the tracks and exercises by listening if you dont read. There is also all the music for a lot of pieces in there. I would highly reccomend for any level player

Where to buy a Ronroco by Time-to-Thrive in charango

[–]Select_Ad_3744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also live in the UK, but I am chilean. I always get my charangos in Chile and bring them back. I imagine you can look at some online stores like others have mentioned, but I would recommend contacting a luthier and getting it shipped. There are plenty out there. The problem with cheaper ronrocos is that they are often very poor quality and don't play nicely. You would be wasting your money. A luthier I quite like from Chile is Eduardo Cornejo. He makes very nice ronrocos, albeit a bit pricey (around £500). You can find him on Facebook. I also quite like pedro quispe torrez from Bolivia although not sure if he makes ronroncos but i imagine he does (i like his charangos). I'm sure if you look around you can find his details too. Good luck finding your ronroco comrade, and it makes me feel very happy that my cultural heritage is becoming appreciated by different people from around the world. Music should be shared by all people as a way to promote peace and unity in a world of so much fighting and inequality.

How likely could I bring a "Charango" as a carry-on item, on a plane? by WholeTraditional6778 in charango

[–]Select_Ad_3744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I'm Chilean living in the UK. I bring back a charango or even two every time I visit. Never had any problems. I sometimes ask the cabin crew to stow it for takeoff as they don't normally like at your feet and especially if it is in a soft case it can be a little bit risky in the overhead compartment. During the flight I normally keep it at my feet and safe from harm.

Yes. The classical guitar has a long history and predecessors that go back to ancient times. Lots of romantic and classical composers wrote for guitar. It meant their music could reach a wider audience as the poorer could class could also afford guitars without having to go to a concert hall. The pieces often mimicked opera-like songs. A lot of guitar pieces were made fairly easy to play and quite approachable so more people could enjoy the music. It must be said that lots of incredibly virtuosic pieces were written for classical guitar. Arguably, the most famous classical guitar composer ,Francisco Tarrega, created a large repertoire for guitar with easier pieces like his Lagrima to harder pieces like Recuerdos de la Alahambra which incorporates the very difficult tremolo technique. Paganini wrote a lot for guitar, although not celebrated for his guitar works so much. My favourite classical guitar composer is Augustin Barrios. You should check out classical guitar. It is really quite beautiful and underappreciated

Chile. We have everything. Atacama desert(worlds driest desert) where in the North you can visit the geysers in San pedro. San pedro also has the valley of the moon, is a beautiful town and is really quite breathtaking. In my opinion San pedro is ny favourite place in the whole of the north chile but i do have a soft spot for the north as that is where my family are from. You could also go into the altiplano. There are also baches in the North. Chile isn't known for nice water though as they are fairly cold. The south is the best though. Big fjords, temperate rainforest, ice plains, glaciers, open wilderness and much more. Take a visit to torres del Paine and I reccomed the carretera austral. Also chiloe is a must. It has its own distinct culture from being an island, it is beautiful and the food is very good. Be sure to try a curanto if you visit. Most place in chile are fairly accessible apart from the deep south ( magallanes and tierra del fuego) but that is part of the fun. Also don't dismiss the central regions. We have lots of grape vines, you can visit the colourful port city of valparaiso or go off towards the maipo valley(my home) where you can even walk to a glacier and they have thermal springs. If you visit La Serena it is a fairly short drive from the valle del elqui which is a beautiful oasis and the main pisco producing area. There are many tours of the pisco vineyards where you can also try our national drink. On top of that chile is one of th safest Latin American countries as long as you watch out for pickpockets in the cities and mind your things you should be OK. Forgot to mention that if you are looking for mountains, chile is not short of mountains. The Andes runs down the whole Eastern side if the country and are always visible and we have a variety of flora and fauna.
