Muchos, muchos for the help.
I agree, the Charango has a sweet (no falsato like Ukele) tone, more like the upper scale to the harp.
The references I have are:
'Metodo de Charango' by Rolando Goldman ISBN:9874338911 www.rolandogoldman.com.ar
and
'Los Secretos del Charango' by Patricio Sullivan & Daniel Navarro ISBN: 9874394811 patricioSullivan@hotmail.com
and I believe a website called? 'AIC Charango' exists for enthuasists.
I play Charango regularly with Celtic music, if used with the fingers is can sound like a clarsach. With the plectrun its more like a mandolin, but it can definitely be done. Keep playing!

Re: Celtic Charango
The charango is a groovy instrument! I think it has more potential in Celtic music than the recently discussed ukulele.
Here's a little primer for getting started:
