From Wikipedia

The ronroco (also spelt ronrroco) is a bass or baritone member of the charango family, with a 44–50-centimetre scale length. It was invented in 1968 by brothers Gonzalo and Wilson Hermosa, of the group Los Kjarkas from Cochabamba, Bolivia, and spread to common usage during the 1980s. In the 1990s and 2000s, it was further popularised by Argentinian musician and composer Gustavo Santaolalla. Ronrocos have 10 strings in five courses. They are built from carved wood or bent sides (like modern charangos), and not from an armadillo shell (in the manner of older charangos).
