The La Bella TPC Tiple Colombiano 12-string set features plain steel and nickel-plated wound strings with ball ends in four courses. The Tiple Colombiano originates from the Andean region and looks like a small classical guitar with an ancestry traced to the 16th-century Spanish vihuela. Used for either unaccompanied solo or in ensembles, the tiple's sonority and tuning are suited for melodic passages and strummed chords.
