Topic: THE BIG MEXICAN GUITAR
If I'm right the MEXICAN Mariachis are a band using 2 violins, 2 trumpets, guitar or vihuela, gitarron + singers.
2 music instruments are not at all familiar to me.
- VIHUELA, you can see in that word violin, all I know there were 3 different styles,
a) 'vihuela de arco' (played like a violin);
b) 'vihuela de mano' (played with your right hand fingers)
c) 'vihuela de peñola' (played with a pick or plectrum)
That guitar is long, with a "violin body" and equipped with 5 or 6 strings.
What about that BIG BIG guitar, if they play at your table you could say A GUITAR WITH A HEAD AND TWO LEGS.
What is the purpose of such a huge guitar? Has someone experience with this super jumbo guitar?

I did found information but I should appreciate it a lot if someone can tell me more about these guitars.
- MY GUITAR PLAYS EVERY STYLE = BLUES, ROCK, METAL, so I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY IT.
