Those claiming it's a Portuguese guitar are mistaken (as was Steve). Actually, it’s a Spanish laúd. There’s a rig rundown clip where Howe says his sister gave it to him and she told him it was a “Spanish Guitar”, but Howe reckons it was really a Portuguese one. Turns out, his sister was right; you can see the laúd (a Spanish lute) if you do a Google images search.

You are correct. I saw an interview of Howe where he said it was a Portuguese guitar a long while ago, but obviously, I either mis-remember or Steve was confused. The Portuguese guitar has no sound holes.@@psbarrow

Steve describes the instrument as 'Portuguese' (using an untraceable, probably made-up word "vachalia'), because his sister brought it back from holiday there But it is not a Portuguese guitarra. It is in fact a Spanish laud, which he tunes to an open Emajor chord.

According to my old LP notes, guitarist Steve Howe is playing a 12 string Spanish Laud but he calls it a Portuguese 12 string which is similar but looks completely different. The Electric guitar is a Gibson ES-175. Singer Jon Anderson is playing a 10 string Puerto Rican Cuatro made by Alvarez.

There is a beautiful version of Turn of the Century with just Steve on classical and Annie Haslam singing. Worth looking for. Steve is the reason I became a classical guitarist.

Should have heard and reacted to the studio version first and then the live version.....less confusion. This is in their younger days right after the album "Going For The One" was released. This video is a promotional video. Steve Howe is playing a Vachalia and electric guitar....What you are seeing him play is Vachalai................ Vachalia is a Portuguese guitar. The Portuguese guitar or Portuguese guitarra is a plucked string instrument with twelve steel strings, strung in six courses of two strings. Steve Howe masters 19 string instrument which is displayed inside the vinyl album, "Fragile." This is where I learned about the members of the band Yes. I encourage you to buy the vinyl of "Fragile," by Yes.

i agree with others. Just review the entire album. Song by song. You will be glad you did. Then go on to their other albums. Sooner or later you will hit all the other songs where you really like the guitar work, and all the other great music. EDIT. looking over your channel, I see you HAVE reviewed many others. Wise choice.
