I found the quotation on Google Books: [1]http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=Hah-dlM2sn0C&pg=PA108&lpg=PA108&d q=vihuela+de+pendola&source=bl&ots=JcAkxkFIeU&sig=wEj8-fm5bSLF1lokbQK0y Cnpauc&hl=en&ei=4OwWSuyFF5DQjAep0qiBDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&re snum=6
or [2]http://tinyurl.com/o95873 - hopefully one of those links will work. It is from a book called Instruments a cordes du Moyen Age by Fondation Royaumont. I've not seen any more of the poem. I vaguely remember Bermudo mentioning the vihuela de pendola - has anyone got a quotation for us? Someone else mentioned that pendola means feather - so that gives us a good idea of what was used.
