The VIHUELA MEXICANA is a smaller physical scale of the Guitarrón. The sound produced from this musical instrument is that of a tenor guitar (tenor-higher pitched). The body or the sound box is much smaller and also has a convex back, which in Spanish we call "la joroba". The tuning mechanism on the headstock can be metal machine heads or wooden pegs (also called las clavijas). The Vihuela Mexicana has 5 strings nylon wound.
(The Guitarrón, Vihuela Mexicana and Guitar together are commonly referred to as the rhythm section or las armonías). The Vihuela Mexicana was the instrument preferred by the mariachi musicians in central Jalisco.
