| Charango |  | The charango is a small South American stringed instrument of the lute family, about 66 cm long, traditionally made with the shell of the back of an armadillo (not to be confused with a Cuban style of music called "charanga"). It typically has 10 strings in five courses of 2 strings each, although other variations exist. Traditionally made with a dried armadillo shell for the back and wood for the soundbox top, neck etc, today charangos are commonly made of wood, with a bowled back imitating the shape of the armadillo shell. | |
| Rondador |  | The rondador is a set of chorded bamboo panpipes that produces two tones simultaneously by blowing air across the top of two adjacent pipes simultaneously. It consists of pieces of cane, placed side by side in order by size and closed at one end. The rondador is considered the national instrument of Ecuador. Ecuadorian San Juanito is the most well known rhythm associated with this instrument. |
