C, Held by the Armonía

All 62 qualities on the root C, across 10 families, drawn for this instrument. A son or a ranchera will use three or four of them; the rest are here for the bolero that reaches further.

Inside the armonía this instrument is the bottom of the armonía — the same mánico the vihuela is playing, an octave lower and with more sustain, which is what stops the section sounding thin under a full melody. Nothing here is a solo grip: the value of the shape is that it lines up with the vihuela's, so the pair arrive in unison as one attack with a low half and a high half.
