Vihuela had six courses. Check the editions of the 16th c. vihuelists--they include
pieces for 6 cs. vihuela and 4 cs. guitar.

Subject: vihuela as guitar
a little late in the discussion but:
- wouldn't a definition of vihuela and guitar be
useful?
- is definition possible?
- weren't the terms synonymus as used in the 16th
cent.?
what i understand so far is:
- 5c. means vihuela and 6c. guitar.
- the placement of sound hole, bout configuration and
proportion doesn't seem to matter much in making the
distinction.
please correct me if i wrong.
cheers - bill
