La Bella BC100 Bandola de Colombia, 16 cuerdas

The La Bella BC100 is a 16-string set designed for the Bandola de Colombia, a triple and quadruple-course instrument that plays a key melodic role in Colombian Andean music. This instrument is typically heard in traditional trios alongside the Tiple and Guitar, providing rapid melodic lines and arpeggiated passages with a bright, mandolin-like character.

Stringing a 16-string instrument requires precisely gauged strings to ensure balanced tension and correct intonation across all courses. The BC100 set delivers the bright, clear tone and responsive feel that Bandola players need for the demanding technical passages of bambuco, pasillo, and other Colombian folk forms. La Bella's expertise in multi-course instrument strings is evident in this carefully designed set. An essential find for Colombian Bandola players who want consistent, purpose-built strings.
