The Guitarrón Chileno (literally: "large Chilean guitar") is a guitar-shaped plucked string instrument from Chile , with 25 or 24 (rarely) strings. Its primary contemporary use is as the instrumental accompaniment for the traditional Chilean genre of singing poetry known as Canto a lo Poeta, though a few virtuosi have also begun to develop the instrument's solo possibilities.

  7. To simplify construction, some contemporary luthiers opt to design the instrument for lighter-gauge, lower-tension strings. This has a detrimental effect on the tone and volume of the instrument, which is then partially compensated through increasing the size of the body, sometimes to where it is larger than a standard guitar.

  12. Done primarily by switching from metal to nylon strings. To tune a metal-strung instrument to C or D would put excessive tension on the bridge. As of yet there are no metal-strung instruments in a woman’s key. In 2000, Anselmo Jaramillo designed a guitarrón for women that has smaller dimensions and smaller courses of strings (3 per course, plus 4 diablitos for a total of 19 strings) to facilitate playing; as of 2007 only two such instruments had been made.
