Thanks, Antonio. You answered my question a long time ago about how the
vihuela (and lute) appeared in the Don Quixote. Nice to hear from you

Dear Sean
Don`t worry, Don Quijote de la Mancha couldn't hear a difference
either, back in 1615. When he listened to Sanson Carrasco playing
in a
forest he told Sancho:
Pero escucha, que a lo que parece templando esta vn laud, o
viguela, y
segun escupe, y se desembaraà §a el pecho, deue prepararse para
cantar
algo.
Best.
Antonio
If we cannot hear the differences between the two instruments
from a
recorded performance, what conclusions should we draw? Is the
difference more apparent when we are in the same room? Should
we
suspect they have been mixed (deliberately? inadvertently?) to
make
them more similar?
Sean
