ah hey thanks, i'm sorry i missed your set, a friend i hadn't seen for over a year turned up so i had to catch up with him. Sometime soon though hopefully.
The instrument is called a charango, it's from bolivia. You can buy them over here, but not sure where. I've only seen them down in brighton. i'd definitely have one over a ukelele any day though!
