The Requinto Guitar

Love this guitar!  We just received a beautiful Paracho Elite requinto guitar.

The requinto guitar is often found in "trio romantico" and mariachi style bands.  The 6-string nylon string requinto has a  530 - 540mm scale and is tuned A D G C E A.  Similar to the ukulele C tuning (G C E A).  Requintos are often smaller than a classical guitar with a deep body.  "Trio romantico" groups typically have two other classical guitars or a  contrabass or guitarron.

Though the body and the neck are smaller, the deep body does not make it necessarily make it a better instrument for children who aspire to the guitar.  Come in a see how it fits.
