Vihuela


The vihuela is a Spanish Renaissance string instrument that appears to be a cross between a lute and a Renaissance guitar. It tunes like a 6-course lute, yet its small body is shaped like the guitars in use at the time.

The vihuela has long since passed from common use, but modern replicas are made for use in early music circles.
