What Museo del Charango Ayacuchano (Camasca family) is known for

Museo del Charango Ayacuchano in Ayacucho commemorates luthier Luis Camasca Cordova "Cheqollo," whose charangos feature Andean flower petals carved into the headstock with mother-of-pearl inlays and 17 frets on a chromatic scale. Instruments use Oregon pine soundboards and Peruvian walnut backs and sides, and the tradition is continued by Alejandro Camasca.
