gillanedgar Glad to see you're being good ambassadors and disregarding local instruments as mere toys, folks! I'd put money on the instrument on the left of the photo of the two lads being a Charango (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charango if you need proof!). Signs to look out for to indicate toy instruments are plastic parts other than the tuning pegs, buttons that trigger samples such as generic hard rock distorted guitar licks, and a lack of actual strings. It's a slow day at work. Keep up the good blogging!
