The E, A and G strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 4. The root is the E string itself. It sounds from E3 up to G4.
Puerto Rican Cuatro is strung in five courses of two, the lower two paired an octave apart, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
