Item Description

Handcrafted "Cuatro Puertoriqueo" El Cacique - 4 string national instrument of Puerto Rico

Item Special Note

The Puerto Rican cuatro is the national instrument of Puerto Rico. It belongs to the lute family of string instruments, and is guitar-like in function, but with a shape closer to that of the violin. The word cuatro means "four", which was the total of strings of the very first Puerto Rican cuatro.
