Comments:
This vihuela, originally understood to be one of only three (but since contacted by someone with No. 6!) by the legendary Ignacio Fleta, is obviously extremely rare. The current owner is very enthusiastic about this vihuela's sound qualities and volume compared with others at time of purchase and since. The quality of the rose and other decorations on the front of the vihuela is very attractive. As well as being of interest to a player of vihuela music this may also interest the collector of Fleta's instruments.
