Use
Its creation is attributed to Alfredo Bojalil Gil (El Güero Gil), from Puebla, Mexico, who was the third voice and requintist of the iconic trio Los Panchos. The requinto is used in songs of the Mexican culture like boleros and corridos, and in Latin America, where the requinto plays a very big role in popular music. In Mexico it is used in trío romántico groups. The requinto guitar is traditionally used in guitar orchestras, along with other sized guitars. Requintos made in Mexico have a deeper body than a standard classical guitar (110 mm as opposed to 105 mm). Requintos made in Spain tend to be of the same depth as the standard classical.
