Mejoranera
Musical instrument / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mejoranera or mejorana is a folkloric chordophone from Panama. It is carved from one block of wood (usually cedar[1]) or from dry fibers of Bejuco, and is shaped like a small guitar. It has five nylon, horse hair, or gut strings.[2][3] The mejoranera is tuned in either an e'-b-a-a'-d' (by 2) or an e'-b-g-g'-d' (by 6) sequence [1] A mejoranera player is called a mejoranero (male) or mejoranera (female). Typically this instrument is played by men.
