Cuatro Puertorriqueno

by Giancarlo Scopinich

Nominal dimentions:
Length: 36"
Width: 12"
Depth: 3.25"
Scale: 22.75"

It is constructed with three layers of poplar .75" thick and two layers of .1875" mahogany, in .25" uniformed thickness all around the entire body.

For the top, .25" spruce. On the back, .25" mahogany.

In the second version it can be seen the 6 blocks I have used to reduce the weight of the instrument. The result to me was very practical.

Here is a PDF of the Cuataro Puertorriqueno plan.
