Description
This instrument, a "3-in-1" Type B model, combines the characteristics of three instruments at once: a children's cuatro, a requinto cuatro, and a tenor ukulele. By a fortunate coincidence, it has the same string length in each case. It is extremely practical because simply changing the string order allows it to be transformed into a different instrument. Its fingerboard extends to the soundhole and has 19 frets. It is the ideal instrument for those who wish to introduce children to the Venezuelan cuatro (Cultural Heritage of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela).
