Ffion		Qilla Base Camp (Tutorial)	4	-
Meriel		Vales (Giant Tutorial)	6	I love the sound of lutes. I wish someone would play it for me one day... That'll probably never happen in this place.
Tin		Tir Chonaill (Forest of Spirits)	1	-
Vena		Filia (Elf Tutorial)	5	A lute? You're talking about the instrument with all those strings on it, right?
Blaanid		With the Milletian	21	(unknown)
Alissa		Tir Chonaill	1	I think Malcolm sells Lutes! But, I've never seen him play one. He would be so popular with the girls if he did.
Bebhinn		Tir Chonaill	1	I saw Malcolm selling a Lute. You should go to the General Shop.
Caitin		Tir Chonaill	1	Lute...? Do you mean that small stringed instrument? I saw Malcolm selling them at the General Shop. If you plan to buy one, the General Shop is the place to go.
Deian		Tir Chonaill	1	Oh... I want a red lute. Why don't you buy me one when you get rich, yea?
Dilys		Tir Chonaill	1	There are many instruments besides lutes. But that's the only one you'll find in this town. I'm sure that when you go to another city your mouth will hang open, staring at all the different choices... Hehe...
Duncan		Tir Chonaill	1	You can find lutes and other times at Malcolm's General Shop. Why don't you go take a look?
Endelyon		Tir Chonaill	1	The Lute is a musical instrument with a neck and musical strings attached to a deep, round soundbox. To play the instrument, simply pluck the strings. It's an easily accessible instrument where anyone can master it with a little bit of practice. You should try it, too! You can find one at Malcolm's General Shop.
Ferghus		Tir Chonaill	1	Malcolm's General Shop sells Lutes. He also sells... Um... What was that called? Ukul... something.
Lassar		Tir Chonaill	1	A lute? Malcolm at the General Shop sells lutes. I guess Priestess Endelyon talked to you, but you came the wrong way. Go in the opposite direction and go toward the Square. A lute will be useful in many ways.
Malcolm		Tir Chonaill	1	A Lute? You have an elegant hobby. I do sell Lutes but they aren't of the highest quality... Would you like to buy one anyway? Press 'Shop', then.
Meven		Tir Chonaill	1	Are you looking for a Lute? You could get a Lute at Malcolm's General Shop. Tell him I sent you. Probably you could negotiate over the price. Well, he may charge you more, as a matter fact.
Nora		Tir Chonaill	1	How was your talk with Priestess Endelyon? Huh? I should talk to Malcolm about a Lute? Why are you...? Ah! You have no money to buy a Lute! Well, neither do I. Maybe you should look around and find a part-time job.
Piaras		Tir Chonaill	1	Do you need a Lute? I would really like to give you one, but so many people are asking these days. So, I can't make an exception... Even if it's you, hahaha. If you visit the General Shop up there, you'll be able to find a few instruments. They are decent enough to play even though you may not find the Lute you're looking for.
Ranald		Tir Chonaill	1	Do you want to know where to buy a Lute? You must have seen some people carrying them around, didn't you? You know, you could have just gone over to one of them and ask where they bought it. Go to Malcolm at the General Shop if you want one of those. Lute is the cheapest instrument you can buy, so I think you can easily afford it. Don't feel sorry for yourself for not having enough money. You need to start doing some part-time jobs or party quests, so you can earn some money to buy something you like.
Trefor		Tir Chonaill	1	Are you looking for a Lute? I noticed Malcolm at the General Shop selling some. Malcolm is terrible at playing musical instruments, but he keeps on making Lutes anyway. Isn't that strange?
Tarlach		Sidhe Sneacha	1	...You really expect to find that here...? You should think about what you're asking...before you say it.
Eltin		Tir Chonaill (during Chef Exam)	6	-
Goro		Tir Chonaill (Alby Arena)	1	-
Tracy		Dugald Aisle	1	You know a Lute is made of wood, right? You must carefully carve the wood thin and bend it slowly to adjust the sound. That's why you need the outer rim of a tree to make a Lute. This part is soft and easy to bend. But it can also change and break very easily. You must make sure to take care of it... I saw some kids using Lutes as weapons. Man, that will definitely ruin the instrument.
Erhard		Dugald Residential	3	Did you know that the better the quality of wood used for Lute, the better the sound it produces? Some people may look down upon the fact that this instrument consists of little pieces of wood, but great instruments always start with great materials.
Lorraine		Dugald Residential	3	Ahh, ...You can tell a good lute by gently plucking on the strings. A good lute will have a deep and clear tone. The way an instrument looks can be important, but isn't the sound the most important thing when it comes to instruments? Hmm... and then... there's... oh yea! ...Of course the more expensive lutes tend to be the better lutes. The fact that the price is high means that more people demand it. If it's something people don't even want, there's no reason to make it so cheap right? Of course... I know there are some merchants out there that know this and sell things for a higher price anyway but... Certainly, you, CharacterName, don't think that I'm that kind of a person, right...? I don't like you saying that even if it's only meant as a joke. ...I, the four-eyed girl, swear to my own glasses, that I would never sell a bad quality lute for the price of a good one so don't worry.
Bernardo		Cuilin Residential	13	-
Marcellus		Cuilin Residential	13	-
Aeira		Dunbarton	1	Right! The instrument my dad sold at his shop was called the Lute! You WILL go stop by his shop later, right? What, you forgot already? It's the General Shop!!. I can't believe you forgot already.
Aranwen		Dunbarton	1	I saw a Lute at the General Shop once. I'm not too interested in it so I don't have much more to tell you.
Austeyn		Dunbarton	1	A Lute is a simple instrument to build, but it somehow feels a bit shabby compared to a ukelele or a mandolin... You get what you pay for, I suppose. Mandolin is for men! Definitely more manly than a Lute! Hmmm... If you think you need a Lute, try the General Shop. Walter should have some at cheap prices.
Eavan		Dunbarton	1	You can buy a Lute at the General Shop.
Glenis		Dunbarton	1	We do have the lute that he used to play, but I can't give that away. ... How depressing...
Kristell		Dunbarton	1	If you are looking for a lute, you will be able to buy it at the General Shop. By the way, it has been a while since Walter last attended church... And I'm worried that he may be concerned with something these days.
Manus		Dunbarton	1	-
Melwyn		Dunbarton	25	My favorite is the violin, but I also enjoy playing the lute. It's fun to play an instrument with such a unique sound. It sounds beautiful and it's relatively easy to play, so it was the first intrument I learned--even before I began learning the violin.
Nerys		Dunbarton	1	If you're looking for a lute, try the General Shop. There's probably a few that Walter made. There should be other instruments there, too.
Simon		Dunbarton	1	A lute? Hmm... Ask Walter, the guy with that intimidating look over there. It's all right. He won't bite. Don't be so scared and go check out the General Shop.
Stewart		Dunbarton	1	If you go to the General Shop, you'll find Lutes that Walter made himself. You'll find other instruments as well, so go and have a look.
Walter		Dunbarton	1	I happen to have it. Do you want one?

Art		Abb Neagh Bard Camp	16	-
Yvona		Abb Neagh Bard Camp	16	I used to play it often when I was just using, but not anymore. That's an instrument that will ruin your fingers, and then I wouldn't be able to hold a sword. The ukulele has a cleaner sound than the lute, if you can afford it. They say that a good instrument creates good sounds in any circumstances. I don't think that's true for the lute. That's just my opinion, though.
Ailbhis		Abb Neagh Residential	10	-
Clodagh		Abb Neagh Residential	10	-
Andras		Taillteann	9	-
Berched		Taillteann	9	It must have been about 20 years ago. A lute player famous in Tara for his good looks was thrown out for due to his addiction to potions. I happened to help with his treatment and rehabilitation... I heard about him recently. He's apparently working on a ship somewhere in the Moyer Ocean.
Brenda		Taillteann	9	I believe Pierrick sells lutes, but he's a merchant at heart, so he's probably awful at playing them.
Collen		Taillteann	9	-
Devi		Taillteann	9	-
Dorren		Taillteann	9	-
Eabha		Taillteann	9	Pierrick sells Lutes. Hmm, I wonder if I could use the Synthesis skill to create an instrument that sounds even better than a Lute...
Granat		Taillteann	9	-
Karpfen		Taillteann	9	I've seen humans play a Lute when confessing their love. If only male Giants could be so romantic.
Pierrick		Taillteann	8	You must have read the Passionate Lute series! That series is the reason I sell Lutes! You wanna buy one?
Cliona		Tara	10	Occasionally, the Auction House will receive rare instruments, like lutes, so you should check it often. Hehe.
Corentin		Tara	10	I love listening to the lute, but I don't know how to play it myself. How about you? What do you enjoy listening to? I love talking about music!
Eluned		Tara	10	-
Etain		Tara	25	(unknown)
Finola		Tara	10	-
Hans		Tara	10	-
Heledd		Tara	10	Before, you could hear the sound of the lute playing throughout the city, but now even that has become a distant memory. Everyone seems to be focused on combat that music is no longer popular.
Ilsa		Tara	10	-
Keith		Tara	10	-
Lezarro		Tara	10	-
Lileas		Tara	10	-
Padan		Tara	10	-
Pencast		Tara	10	-
Alpin		Tara Rath Castle	12	(unknown)
Arzhela		Tara Rath Castle	11	I know we have a book of poetry about Lutes somewhere... I wrote a review about it once. I believe it was titled, "For the Love of Lutes"?
Briana		Tara Rath Castle	11	Whenever I hold a Lute in my hands, I just want to dance and play and sing!
Eirawen		Tara Rath Castle	16	(unknown)
Glewyas		Tara Rath Castle	11	My daughter, Edna, has started learning the Lute. It's not going all that well, though. I know she's no musical genius like Briana, but she seems to have trouble staying focused...
Sinead		Tara Rath Castle	11	I enjoy listening to a Lute more than playing one. Same goes for food. I get more pleasure from eating than from cooking.
Agnes		Emain Macha	2	-
Ailionoa		Emain Macha	2	Well, it's an instrument. Don't tell me you were planning to buy one here? ...I'm not too sure, so you should just ask someone else. It'll probably save you some time.
Aodhan		Emain Macha	2	I enjoy listening to music...
Craig		Emain Macha	2	-
Del		Emain Macha	2	If I remember correctly, I think Nele sells them. Are you planning to buy one? Haha...
Delen		Emain Macha	2	A Lute? I always hear Galvin bragging about how the Lute from Emain Macha is the best. ...But them again, judging by the things Galvin typically says, I don't know how much you can trust him. I'm not saying he's a bad person, it's just that he's not someone I would trust...
Fraser		Emain Macha	2	-
Galvin		Emain Macha	2	Haha, you must be really interested in instruments! In that case, I may have to show you all the instruments I have for you! Check this out! There are two kinds of instruments. The wind instrument, and the string instrument. We'll talk about the wind instrument later. This is the Lute, the most popular string instrument. The best Lutes are make in Emain Macha! You know that, right? You seem to be a really nice person, so I'll give you a special discount. Just choose the one you'd like to buy! ...Oh no... we have a slight problem. I am out of stock. If you really need one, ask Nele at the Square. He should be selling them, too!
Gordon		Emain Macha	2	Ask Shena.
Huw		Emain Macha	17	(unknown)
James		Emain Macha	2	I think I've seen Nele selling one of them. I don't know if he makes them himself, but he certainly knows how to handles them very well.
Jocelin		Emain Macha	2	Yes. There are quite a few people who like to keep their lutes at the Bank. The Bank's storage area is blocking the light from Palala as well as the humidity from the environment completely. No cases of affected musical instruments has been reported. ...Our Bank's storage environment is quite excellent, if I may say so myself. You can count on us indeed. Hahaha...
Lucas		Emain Macha	2	I think Nele is selling that. If he has all those things to sell, then he might way to change his old lute first...
Nele		Emain Macha	2	I hear some people tell me this lute looks old, and that I'll need it replaced... I've been playing this lute for so long, though, that this lute feels more like a friend to me than an instrument...
Osla		Emain Macha	2	Lute...? Lute... I've heard about it... ..Ahh... I keep forgetting things these days.
Rua		Emain Macha	2	Aren't you going to ask about other instruments besides the Lute? I would think you would be able to handle other instruments as well...Hehe.
Shena		Emain Macha	2	-
Tyron		Emain Macha	2	-
Wyllow		Emain Macha	2	-
Roden		Emain Macha (during Chef Exam)	6	Hehehe... That cutie pie Shena knows a thing or two about the lute.
Esras		Emain Macha (G2)	2	-
Rian		Emain Macha (G2)	2	-
Muro		Ceo Island	2	-
Aer		Ceo Island	2	-
Fleta		Sen Mag	2	It's a cheap instrument... but it sounds good so it shouldn't matter.
Elain		Sen Mag Residential	3	The lute that I have in stock is not of the highest quality, but it is pretty sturdy and I made it with a lot of passion. No need to be suspicious, just go ahead and pick a color that you like.
Leslie		Sen Mag Residential	3	Well it's something you can easily find to purchase so it's a good thing that anyone can learn how to play it. Speaking of which, I hear that it is very hard to get a real high-quality lute...
Seumas		Gairech	1	-
Bryce		Bangor	1	Do you need a Lute? Mm... If you aren't in a hurry, how about getting one in another town?
Comgan		Bangor	1	I have seen it being sold at Gilmore's General Shop. I didn't buy it, though. Someone else bought it and showed it to me. He gave it to me as a gift to be used in building the Church... I did sell it back later to the General Shop to raise funds for the Church... By the way, is a Lute usually worth... 20 Golds?
Edern		Bangor	1	Have you been to the General Shop?
Elen		Bangor	1	After all, you can keep rhythm with a hammer, but you can't hammer metal with a Lute.
Gilmore		Bangor	1	Stop asking and start buying! What's with all these folks asking about things that are obviously for sale here?!
Ibbie		Bangor	1	-
Jennifer		Bangor	1	If you really want to buy it, try the General Shop just over there. Be careful, though. If you take too long you might get yelled at...
Riocard		Bangor	1	You can buy Lutes at Gilmore's General Shop over there. But honestly, the quality is not that great, but that's just about all you can get your hands on in this town.
Sion		Bangor	1	I've seen one at Gilmore's shop before. It's the wooden bowl with a stick and some strings on it, right? It amazes me that people can make music with something like that. Sometimes people come by and perform here...
Shenon		Port Ceann	3	Wooden objects can rot quickly, so you have to be careful when carrying it on board! You'll also need to grease it up from time to time.
Caoimhin		Port Ceann/Connous Boat	25	The lute? Well, I'm certainly no virtuoso, but I can play most songs once I've heard them a few times. Its music may sound ordinary, but the lute has a sound that's intimate and familiar to everyone. And once you've mastered the lute, you'll be ready to move on to the mandolin. I spend the holidays leisurely plucking away at my lute. It’s a real joy to see some color return to my daughter's pallid face when I play her favorite songs. I want to find a way to show her that there are many more things to enjoy outdoors than inside the house.
Carasek		Port Cobh/Dominion of Belvast Boat	4	The Lute-playing Hottie... That's what everyone called me throughout my youth. It was like a dreaded nametag that followed me everywhere I went. I tried everything to lose the 'hottie' title and trust me, I'd tried everything... But my so-called good looks combined with my God-given talent. I guess, left people with no other choice but to call me that. I was truly tortured by this unfortunate curse, and I started abusing potion, drinking non-stop. In the end, a scandal broke out, about my addiction to potions and I was estranged from the music world.
Igerna		Port Ceann/Sella Boat	25	Occasionally, we'll have passengers who like to sing out on deck as they gaze at the ocean. The cawing of the seabirds and the sentimental melody rising above the splashing waves make such songs even more emotional. What do you think? If you ever get bored, try playing the lute. I'll listen carefully and give you an honest assessment, if you like.
Karis		Port Connous	15	(unknown)
Linden		Port Cobh/Qilla Boat	25	Oh! Ailbhe--the younger of my older brothers--is pretty good with that instrument. It may be a bit of a basic choice, but he says he likes its unique sound. I'm fond of it too. Listening to it, I mean. I couldn't play more than a couple notes, haha! Feels like it’s been too long since I heard my brother play. I'll have to ask him to play for me the next time I visit home on shore leave.
Price		Various	2	When you're even just holding a good lute, music seems to magically flow out... ...But there's no way!!! You can't perform a beautiful song unless you practice. That's how everything in the world is!
Redire		Various	2	I don't really know much about music.

Alexina		Qilla Base Camp	4	Oh by the way, have you ever heard the captain of this ship, Captain Carasek, play the lute? He works on the ship now but he used to be quite a famous bard back in Uladh when he was younger. Come to think of it, I don't think I've heard him play much recently... I wonder if he'd play something for us if you ask him, CharacterName.
Effie		Qilla Base Camp	4	I do... sell some here. Would you like to see?
Ethna		Qilla Base Camp	4	When it comes to the lute, you can't forget Captain Carasek. I've watched him perform solo on the lute once... It really made me want to learn how to play the lute. I didn't want to buy a lute, so I've borrowed Captain Carasek's lute and I've been practicing pretty hard.
Heulfryn		Qilla Base Camp	4	If you're looking to buy a lute, I think Effie might be your best chance... Why don't you go ask her at the General Shop?
Nicca		Qilla Base Camp	4	The lute... well, it's definitely by far the cheapest of all the instruments... Why are you asking me all of a sudden? If you want to buy one, go to the General Shop, don't come talk to me.
Sayiv		Port Qilla	25	It's an instrument made in a wide variety of forms, from the simple and basic to the extremely refined, and at every price point and quality level in between. It's got a mellow sound that can sometimes verge on being a bit plain, but maybe that's what makes it easy to listen to. I'd be confident in recommending the lute to any novice bard.
Myrddin		Fishing Boat (Muyu Desert)	4	I wish I'd learned to play an instrument, like a lute or something. Could've come in pretty handy. I don't know what it is, but playing an instrument seems like a luxury in a way, you know what I mean? I spend quite a lot of time alone out here so I often find myself just sitting here staring into thin air. Playing an instrument might be a fun passtime... Oh, but it's too late now... I'm too old now to be starting from scratch, to be learning something brand new... Oh, am I just depressing you?
Petra		Fishing Boat	4	-
Kousai		Cor	7	-
Kusina		Cor	7	I don't know how to play the lute, but I once watched Mr. Voight playing it.
Ruwai		Cor	7	-
Shamala		Cor	17	(unknown)
Tupai		Cor	7	-
Voight		Cor	7	I sneaked an expensive-looking lute from old Carasek, but I haven't had a chance to sell it. I found out that it makes some nice sounds, and so I play it sometimes. I guess expensive things are worth their price.
Waboka		Cor	7	-
Atrata		Filia	5	Are you talking about the lute? I've seen Granites selling them before.
Castanea		Filia	5	Here in Filia, you can buy lutes from Granites.
Granites		Filia	5	The lute is an instrument that makes its sound from ringing the strings. The lute is an ideal instrument for learning as a hobby. Once in a while, you'll see certain elves who've taken it beyond a hobby and become professional lutenists... What do you think? If you've got some money, I'd be happy to show you a real nice lute.
Hagel		Filia	5	You can obtain the lute from Granites.
Lepus		Filia	5	Granites is selling those.
Meles		Filia	5	Granites sells lutes. He used to play music too, for a while, so if you have any interest, he can be of great help.
Yoff		Filia (Arena)	5	-
Kirine		Vales	6	Lutes... Ugh, they sound like two cats fighting. I can't stand it.
Krug		Vales	6	I've heard a Human play the lute once. I don't think Kirine liked it all that much, but I was actually quite moved.
Taunes		Vales	6	-
Wanst		Vales	6	I've seen some amateur Human musicians play it. I thought it sounded pretty good, but there are some Giants who can't stand it.

Argel		Belvast	16	(unknown)
Barry		Belvast	15	I enjoy composing music as much as the next pub owner, but I've got no skill at playing instruments. You ever hear of people who can compose in their head? They're pretty much geniuses. I guess I'm one of them. Oh, but if you want to buy an instrument, my daughter sells some.
Beirnes		Belvast	15	-
Blyss		Belvast	15	-
Mont		Belvast	15	Instruments? You a musician? Puhaha! Ohh...I think the little girl at the Bazaar sells instruments too. She sells all kinds of things. Must make good money. But if she muscles in on my turf, I'll take her down!
Shayla		Belvast	15	I believe Vanalen sells instruments. Talk to her.
Vanalen		Belvast	15	I sell all sorts of things. Anything to help my dad out!

Female Blunt		Spirit Weapon	2	Lute? Well... Other than the fact it's an instrument that Humans can play, I'm not too sure... ...Umm... I didn't really help you at all...did I? However... ...I'm not used to the Human world yet, I just got here, practically! Hah! ...When will I become used to the Human world?
Female Bow		Spirit Weapon	2	Huh? What are you talking about? Lu...te...? Oh, you are talking about Human instruments... I don't know about that right now, but I might be able to tell you a little later... Hahaha...

Dougal		Another World (Tir Chonaill)	1	Those instruments produce some good sounds. It does get on my nerves sometimes, though. I'm not sure why it does.
Morc		Another World (Gairech)	3	Lu..Lute, sounds good if you turn it around and hit it. But, it breaks fast if you hit it with a Pickaxe.
