On the lute? A single strung, metal fretted Liuto forte? Does this qualify
as an anachronism?
I don't think there is anything here that couldn't be done just as well (or
better) on a guitar. But sure, it looks cool, and perhaps there is a timbre
or tone quality that could not be replicated on any guitar. (The sound
quality of YouTube does unfortunately not allow for such intricacies).
Anyway, IMO, in this setting the "lute" seems to be taken out of its
context. But who am I to say?
