Very nice Yaron !
Excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference between Vihuela & Guitar ? Though they look almost the same, they sound different !

Yours indeed

Thanks Alfaraby!
The differences of the Vihuela is:
Smaller body
Wider Wrist
2x5 or 2x6 strings
The bridge location is different
Different top bracing pattern
The top is thinner
415 Hz tuning
More early ornaments
Early inside rosette
Flamenco style pegs head

and a lot more
