Vihuela: the Armonía's Chord Reference

The chord reference for this instrument. Pick a root, then any of 62 qualities, and get the grips plus the thing a diagram never carries: which section is holding the chord and what it owes the others while it does.

Inside the armonía this instrument is the top of the armonía — five re-entrant strings whose open third is the highest open pitch on the instrument, so every strum lands as one tight treble block instead of a spread stack, and the shape below is not a voicing choice so much as a section instruction — the whole armonía strikes the same mánico in unison, on the same slot, or the chord stops being one event.

Every shape is drawn for A–D–G–B–E across 5 strings, open positions first and movable ones after them, each with playback. The tuning is re-entrant — string 3 carries the highest open pitch on the instrument, not the last one — so a familiar grip comes out as a closed block rather than a spread stack.
