From the Manufacturer Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) Review: Sounds nice - The Santa Rosa is a nice instrument. The only issue I have is that the frets where not sanded down. So it left sharp edges. And there where minor blemishes nothing major. Still a nice instrument and sounds nice. Review: Great Sounding Cuatro, very well made! - Much better than I expected, very well made, easy to play, straight neck, bright clear and clean tone, beautiful sound, I would have paid twice the price for this cuatro. I should have bought the KQ100K package with the accessories included, Very happy with the quality for the price I paid. Well done! ## Features - 10 string Puerto Rican Curator (Curator Puertorriqueno) - Golden Honey Maple finished back and sides, 2 Extra replacement strings - Rosewood Fingerboard and rosewood bridge - High gloss natural color spruce top - German nickel silver Frets, decorative sound hole rosette ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01COELWKG | | Back Material Type | Maple | | Body Material Type | Maple | | Brand | Santa Rosa | | Brand Name | Santa Rosa | | Color | Silver | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | | Finish Type | Glossy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00764565171000 | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Instrument | Puerto Rican Cuatro | | Instrument Size | Full | | Item Dimensions | 36 x 13 x 4 inches | | Item Type Name | Puerto Rican Cuatro | | Item Weight | 2.7 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 36 x 13 x 4 inches | | Manufacturer | Kay Guitar Company | | Manufacturer Part Number | KQ100 | | Material Type | Maple Wood, Spruce Wood | | Model Name | Santa Rosa KQ100 Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) | | Model Number | KQ100 | | Number of Strings | 10 | | Size | Full | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Top Material Type | Spruce | | UPC | 764565171000 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 90 day limited. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Santa Rosa - **Size:** Full - **Color:** Honey Maple - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 36 x 13 x 4 inches - **Top Material Type:** Spruce - **Back Material Type:** Maple - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Finish Type:** Glossy - **Instrument:** Puerto Rican Cuatro - **Item Weight:** 2.7 Pounds ## Images ![Santa Rosa KQ100 Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61I3KV5AePL.jpg) ![Santa Rosa KQ100 Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rweQP20nL.jpg) ![Santa Rosa KQ100 Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613xh61wSVL.jpg) ![Santa Rosa KQ100 Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rw2MP79ML.jpg) ![Santa Rosa KQ100 Puerto Rican 10 String Cuatro (Cuatro Puertorriqueno) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61UW0Rs920L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sounds nice *by B***A on July 26, 2019* The Santa Rosa is a nice instrument. The only issue I have is that the frets where not sanded down. So it left sharp edges. And there where minor blemishes nothing major. Still a nice instrument and sounds nice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sounding Cuatro, very well made! *by M***R on December 28, 2017* Much better than I expected, very well made, easy to play, straight neck, bright clear and clean tone, beautiful sound, I would have paid twice the price for this cuatro. I should have bought the KQ100K package with the accessories included, Very happy with the quality for the price I paid. Well done! ### ⭐ Incredible buzz, high action, piece of junk. *by A***S on May 31, 2018* I just returned this Santa Rosa cuatro and must tell you why you absolutely should not buy it. *IF* you must buy it make sure you can return it for free (I could) because I doubt you will be happy with it. Mine had buzzing on almost all of the strings no matter what tuning it was in and the finish was very rough. What is crazy is that the action was VERY high and yet the strings still buzzed a LOT. I honestly don't know how this is possible because I have never received an instrument new OR used in this bad of a condition. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/25852738-santa-rosa-kq100-puerto-rican-10-string-cuatro-cuatro-puertorriqueno](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/25852738-santa-rosa-kq100-puerto-rican-10-string-cuatro-cuatro-puertorriqueno) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-07*
