The vihuela is a stringed instrument from Spain, popular during the Renaissance period. It resembles a guitar but typically has a flat back and a rounded body, with six or seven courses (pairs of strings). The vihuela was often used for both accompaniment and solo performances, and it played a significant role in the development of later string instruments, particularly the guitar. Its repertoire includes a wide range of music, from polyphonic vocal pieces to dance music.
