Guitarra latina

The guitarra latina is a plucked string instrument of the Medieval period in Europe.[1] It has single string courses, and it is normally played with a pick. This gittern or citole with curved sides is illustrated in the medieval musical text the Cantigas de Santa Maria, alongside another gittern, the guitarra morisca.
