pieces (aprox 350), in a very gradual progression regarding difficulty.

My two cents:
If you have small hands and a large lute (ie, long strings), and
you study music written by a guy with large hands and a small vihuela,
then a certain amount of frustration and confusion might result, due
to the fret spacing difference between the instruments.

It sounds as though you didn't get the answer you were expecting!
Presumably you called this builder because you trust his judgement.
If he's well-known to turn out very high-quality lutes, I would take

Chris,
Without saying anything about this instrument itself, let me say that the
builder's situation is not that all unusual.
It goes like this: I build instruments. I have my own ideas about what I
want to build and how I want to build it.

Chris,
The Builder is probably right (what an honest person!), that instrument does

Well, the obvious thing would be to ask the seller to send you an mp3 of
something played on the instrument - then you could make your own
judgement of the sound. If it sounds good to you, buy it.
I suspect the builder does have a narrow view of the correct sound of a
vihuela - not to say that his

vihuela has a more "throaty" direct, slightly "shallower" sound and the lute
is a
rounder, more "enveloping" sound. Also, if you tune most of the courses in
unisons on the vihuela, as opposed to the lute, it makes a diff
