Fully-featured reproduction of the Dias vihuela, re-scaled to a larger instrument with SL 66cm

Fluted ribs of the back, as well as sides, fingerboard and peghead veneers are in African blackwood (dalbergia melanoxylon) - the wood from which the original Dias vihuela is made*.

* For more infromation, please refer to the first section of my research article The Belchior Dias 1581 Vihuela (notes to the drawing and other observations).
