Vihuela Gets A New Top

The vihuela is a fascinating instrument, and somewhat confusing.  There is a classical vihuela you might find in Europe and then what you might see here in Oklahoma – the one used frequently in Mariachi music.  This one has been loved and played for years by the Mariachi Lopez, a family representing three generations of fantastic mariachi music.  Time and a couple of accidental drops brought this one in for a new top.  Very tricky, but as you can see it turned out well.
