Lute can refer generally to any plucked string instrument with a neck (either fretted or unfretted) and a deep round back, or more specifically to an instrument from the family of European lutes.
The European lute and the modern Near-Eastern oud both descend from a common ancestor via diverging evolutionary paths. The lute is used in a great variety of instrumental music from the Medieval to the late Baroque eras and was probably the most important instrument for secular music in the Renaissance. It is also an accompanying instrument, especially in vocal works, often realizing a basso continuo or playing a written-out accompaniment.
The player of a lute is called a lutenist, lutanist or lutist, and a maker of lutes (or any string instrument) is referred to as a luthier.
A guitar could be called a lute and I play one of those and I think it sounds pretty good!

A 2008 Martin D35 6 string acoustic and a 1986 Yamaha FJ612s 12 string acoustic used to have others including a 1978 Kramer electric (last year they were made in the states) I also play harmonica and fiddle a little (not that good on fiddle) To me music is the means by which creation was created by God as in the greatest symphony of all time. It's amazing how influential music can be just look at rock and roll for instance. It is a rebellious music by nature and look at the age category it has always been aimed at (teens). Music can make you happy, Sad, Mad, Violent, repentent, sorrowful, agitated and get you a speeding ticket when your cruising down the highway to tunes like "radar love" "smoke on the water""money for nothing" and "maybelline" by Chuck Berry. By the way Chuck you owe me $278.00 for the last one!
Nothing would please me more than to be one of Gods musicians in Heaven playing in the greatest Orchestra of all time!
