How many strings are on rondalla?

Answer 1

The rondalla is an ensemble, not a single instrument, so the number of strings varies among the instruments that make up the group.

The main melodic instruments—the bandurria, laud, and octavina—all have 14 strings each.

The other primary instruments in the ensemble have fewer strings:

The Guitar has 6 strings.

The Bajo de Uñas (bass) has 4 strings.

Answer 2

A rondalla typically consists of 8 to 14 string instruments, including Guitars, bandurias, laudes, and octavinas. Each instrument usually has six strings, although the number of strings can vary depending on the specific type of instrument. The ensemble creates rich harmonies and melodies, often performing traditional Folk Music. Overall, the total number of strings can range from 48 to over 84, depending on the number of instruments and their configurations.
