 See Tiple (Puerto Rico).The Colombian Requinto Tiple (or Tiple Colombiano Requinto) is smaller than a standard Tiple Colombiano, and is sometimes shaped more like a violin or Puerto Rican cuatro, or sometimes like a small guitar (smaller than the standard Tiple).It also has 12 strings and is also triple-strung, but the higher pitch means that all of the strings in the courses are tuned to unison.
