My entire repertoire consisted of popular songs (in English). I tuned my G string down to F# and faked my way through a few lute dances on guitar with the drum on my back. I bet youll be asked back to play again.

[LUTE] Lute hire, East Coast USA
Hello - I need to hire a lute for a week when I go to the States towards the end of October. I will fly in to NYC (probably Sun 26th Oct) and then go on to Philadelphia, so could pick it up from either area, but will be travelling on public transport, so couldn't get anywhere too remote. It could be a 6-, 7- or 8-course lute, ideally pitched at F# or lower. It's for a performance, so I'm hoping for a nice, professional-standard instrument. Does anyone have such a lute to hire out, or know who I might contact to this end? Many thanks Helen -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
