[VIHUELA] Re: A new-to-me vihuela

[Rob MacKillop]

   Very good, Eugene. I buy a mandolin, and you buy a vihuela. The world
   keeps turning...



   Enjoy it - an amazing repertoire.

       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
