[VIHUELA] A new-to-me vihuela

[Eugene C. Braig IV]

   Greetings fellow punteadophiliacs:


   Nothing to tickle your scholarly mental muscles, but I'm a bit excited
   so thought I'd share.  After years of inaudible unplayability, my
   quirky speculative vihuela has returned to me, artfully brought to
   functionality by Ohio luthier and Dartmouth list lurker Mr. Chadwick
   Neal.  Nothing is left of the original but the maple of the shell and
   ebony of the fingerboard.  The new soundboard is a North American
   hybrid, Lutz spruce, and I am really quite pleased with the sound and
   look.  Chad has a bit of a write up here:

   I'm happy to receive commentary: good, bad, and indifferent.


   Cheers,

   Eugene
