The viola de queluz is a
stringed musical instrument that originated from Queluz, Brazil. It has 12
strings in 5 courses and then lower 2 are tripled and the rest of the others
are doubled. The musical instruments were mainly invented between the 19th
and the 20th century and it was inspired by the viola toeira that is
from Portugal. The instruments were traditionally handmade and are still
produced in the modern time even though they are not being as appealing to the
public as it used to be in the 19th century.
