Keyboard player and inventor of a tablature notation that he hoped would become universally adopted for all polyphonic instruments, “tecla, harpa y vihuela” as he specifies in the title of his 1557 Libro de cifra nueva. The book includes arrangements of vihuela music by Narváez, Mudarra, and Valderrábano often with some modifications. Sometimes this refashioning of works is quite extreme. Although he includes this music largely as a way of showing keyboard players how to access and arrange music in lute tablature, it is more than likely that he also knew how to play the vihuela himself. His remarks are quite detailed and show the insights of someone who must have been very familiar with the instrument.
