Hi! 👋 It's a Spanish lute called a vihuela. It's tuned in G! Thanks for listening! 🤓

Klaus Jacobsen, London. Thanks for watching! 💕

Hi there! 👋 I am not a modern classical guitarist and I am approaching the instrument as a lute and vihuela player. Historical evidence underpins my performance philosophy and technique. I play with no nails on gut strings and on an instrument with double courses. To get a beautiful rich tone from this set up, my technique is very different to that of a modern guitar player using nylon and overwound single strings. The modern use of the nail in the right hand significantly changes the hand position too. Many classical guitarists will play the baroque guitar with a modern technique, I approach it from it's roots, from the repertoire of the Spanish lute. (vihuela) The music of this genre, for example; Mudarra and Luis de Milan, then evolved and branched off into the world of the 4c renaissance guitar to the 5c and the late romantic guitar.

@@luteweb I still feel that you are rejecting many years of trial and error that has produced the modern guitar and improved modern techniques. Btw, your right hand position is found in lots of self taught folky type guitarists and they produce a weak tone and volume.

It’s baroque guitar so the aesthetic ideas and physical technique is different to the music of the gypsies and dock workers, totally different era.
