The Cuatro is a Venezuelan instrument. Most players strum the instrument (the reason for the tap plate built seamlessly on the upper bout), and the Cuatro€™s sound tends to serve as a rhythmic and harmonic base. Popular for its simplistic design and its compact size (20.5€³ or 521mm scale length), the Cuatro is a versatile instrument fit for all styles and varieties of music. Cordoba€™s Cuatro is made with a solid Spruce top, mahogany back and sides and a mahogany tap plate.
