Location: Scotland | That's a Charango. South American, from Peru and Bolivia. Traditionally made from Armadillo shells but now usually made from wood. The Armadillo is getting close to being endangered in some parts of South America, mostly due to Peruvians scooping their guts out and making charangos, so it's now only legal to make charangos out of roadkill. A friend of mine in Austin has a guitar made from a huge armadillo shell, sounds pretty damn good. |

Actually, we're overrun with armadillos in Texas, in fact we've got some big enough on our place to repair the chipped paint on my 1537.

There's a song title . . . Sounds like a "stump the band" kind of thing. I can just picture Doc Severinson trying to sing it.

Once you're done making the instrument, how can they tell if it's roadkill or not? :confused: |
