Yes, I believe this is generally accepted thought on the "usual" 
vihuela.  But, this is not in each instance.

The duets of Valderrabano require vihuelas in unison, a third (minor) 
apart, a forth apart, and fifth apart.  This gives us many possibilities of 
pitch,  in where to start the configuration.

Best regards,
