I seem to remember that lutes were used in courtly manifestations (processions i.e. "Entrée de luths") where a large number of lute players were walking and playing. In medieval and renaissance paintings lute players are often shown playing while standing up. Then there also are a number of pics where lutes are being played by courting men walking side by side with their loved ones.
