The vihuela, despite a shape that bears a close resemblance to that of a guitar, was strung at the same intervals of a lute, and was especially popular in Spain in the sixteenth century. Unfortunately, only very few original instruments have survived to the present day and these each have quite different characteristics and sizes, and are generally very different from what we see in the iconographic evidence of the period. Between 1535 and 1576 music for vihuela reached its highest point, in this period the publications of dances, fantasies, sacred music and songs represent, with their elegance, completeness and technical accomplishment, one of the high points of sixteenth-century music.
