A lute is a stringed musical instrument with a rounded body and a fretted neck, played by plucking the strings. A vihuela is also a stringed musical instrument similar to a lute but typically larger and with a different shape, often played in Renaissance and Baroque music. The vihuela is commonly associated with Spanish and Latin American music.
