[VIHUELA] Re: sex and vihuela
sal - this is a long shot but cebu is the name of a town in the philippines famous for producing musical instruments. it has spanish links (late 1500's) and i'm told they make beautiful instruments: http://talk.philmusic.com/board/ there's a small, vihuela-like instrument in the philippines similar to the charango. name escapes me at the moment but another case of a 5c. iberian instrument living abroad under a locally assumed name. - bill --- Sal Salvaggio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ah...

Of course, especially in the 17th c. when the name didn't exist. An instrument is named whatever people are calling it...whether I like it or not.
