A vihuela is a traditional Mexican instrument with 5-strings. It is commonly used in mariachi groups. It is similar to a guitar, but has a brighter sound. Currently, my mariachi students are playing the armonÃa, or harmony part, on guitars.
Having students play vihuelas allow them to produce music that sounds more like a traditional mariachi band. Also, having additional vihuelas will help ensure each student has an instrument to practice on and not need to share them during rehearsal. They would also be able to practice with them at home.
