Congratulations, David! After such a nice and rewarding experience,
maybe some of these teenagers decide to become early music students.
Moreover, in addition to increase their cultural knowledge, many of
them will probably become early music lovers with enough interest to
buy recordings and to attend concerts.
best regards,
Rafael Munoz

Asunto: [LUTE] Re: The "Trujillo" vihuelas
You can translate the full site to your prefered language by using
the
flags located in the top-left corner, maybe that could help.
These nine vihuelas are not made by amateur luthiers conducted by a
professional one. The real thing about this project is that all the
vihuelas are made by teenagers, living in a town in Spain, with no
previous idea of how a vihuela looks like or even what instrument it
is... this is about a teacher trying to do something different in his
classroom, with his students, without barely support and tools.
This is about how they get invaluable support from John Griffiths, in
the opposite corner of the earth!, how the students even build the
needed tools, how the Sociedad de la Vihuela gets also involved, and
how Cuerdas Pulsadas offered for free all the needed strings and
frets... among other things.
I think that this is pretty nice!
Kind regards.

Maye I miss something utterly obvious (I can't read spanish, so the
link doesn't really provide too much inforamtion for me), but what
is the point of such an experiment?
From what I get, they used some late 15th century paintig as a
modell,
but where did the (rather important) rest come from? John
Griffiths?
The neck/fingerboard/top joint doesn't look like anything I've seen
in early (i.e. pre 1500) viola/vihuela iconography.
But thank's for posting this link. It would be nice to learn a bit
more
about the rationale behind the project.
Cheers, RalfD
