When you first enter the inn, you can find him with Solding and Varhilda. He will assume you have a request.
:"Well met, stranger. I suppose you demand a song."
:No thanks. Where am I?
:"No song, huh?  Well, know that this is the fabulous Everfull Flagon, purveyor of the finest mead in all of … wherever we are."
:You apparently enjoy the mead.
:''"I do, I really do. Wait, was that some sort of insult? I should give you a proper thrashing for that!  But I can't stay angry at you! Have I told you about the time I performed in the Tribunal Temple? My voice made the Dark Elves weep."''

Later on, Bernt will ask you to find Hautt's lute and you have to option to ask Hautt where it is hidden. He will want to play word games with you.
:''"I used to sing for thanes and kings. I danced around and had many fine things. How about that! I made a rhyme. I've still got it!"
:Do you remember the last place you played your lute?
:"You're a curious one. I imagine the Thane is keeping his eye on you. You want me to reveal a secret? Secrets are a bard's trade, after all. There should be a price. I know! A contest! A duel of words. If you win, amazing secrets will be told!"
::All right. What are the rules?
::"I say something witty and clever about you … and then you respond in kind. I'll start. Whither goes that guar? Did it escape from Vvardenfell or is it your sister?"
:::That guar was your wife.
:::"Excellent retort! Speaking of retort, your armor is so old, even an Akaviri wouldn't wear it."
::::This isn't my armor. It belongs to your wife.
::::"Oh, well played! Well played!  If I had my lute, I would sing of your prowess. It's gone, though. I last played it for Juvilda. I struck a heroic pose, like the statue of Ysgramor near her house. Sang my heart out. I used be quite good, you know."
:::That guar needs your lute.
:::"That makes no sense. Why would a guar need a lute? It has no fingers! Let us try again. Who cut your hair? A Falmer? Ha! Take that!"
::::Don't you want your lute back?
::::"Begone, you of sober face and dull wit! Making me think of my poor, lost lute. How depressing. I last played a song while wooing Juvilda. I struck a heroic pose, like the statue outside her house. Sang my heart out. She was suitably impressed."
::[Intimidate] I don't have time for this. Just tell me where to find your lute.
:::"Oh, you're angry! How positively adorable! When last I saw my beloved lute … I played a song for the lovely Juvilda. I struck a pose, inspired by the statue outside her house. And I sang my heart out, let me tell you. She was suitably impressed."

Once the patrons begin to sober up, Hautt will be on the second floor with Gjarmiddi or playing his lute.
:"My head feels as if a dozen Orcs are pounding on war drums inside my skull."

The Hollow City
Hautt can be found playing his lute in The Shining Star.
:"Well met, my friend.  We have met, haven't we? I confess, my memory isn't what it used to be."''
