2008-06-06 Thread Rob MacKillop
Fuenllana composed and intabulated pieces for the 5c vihuela. How this instrument differed from the 5c guitar with bourdons on the 4th and 5th is a little bit of a mystery. His 6c vihuela seems to have been quite small, judging by the stretches required of the left hand. The 5c tablature seems to
