The jarana huasteca, jarana de son huasteco or jaranita is a string instrument. It is most often called simply jarana.
It is a guitar-like chordophone with 5 strings. It is smaller than the guitarra huapanguera and usually forms part of the trío huasteco ensemble, along with the quinta huapanguera and violin, taking on the role of the rhythmical accompaniment to the ensemble.
This jarana huasteca was made in Santiago de Queretaro, Queretaro by Luis Maximiliano Perez of Legno Lauderia. This jarana will include a custom made hard case.
