Lutte Out of Existence.

The lutte has vanished. 1t was one
Of the oldest Of Instruments, and had
a beautiful vibrant tone somewhat like
that Of the harp. But it's size and
completely were against it. 1t had a
long tail and many strings, and while
its size increased its power and range,
1t also increased its weight and made
1t cumbrOus. The minstrel of today
plays on the mandolin, the guitar or
the banjo-and the lutte is forgot.
