The lute is an instrument that I always associate with the medieval period, and so its playing will often feature in novels, films and so on. And rightly so, because its gentle sound is both beautiful and soothing. Wanting to set a scene where ladies were listening to a lute, I looked online for examples of lute-playing. I found it here https://youtu.be/M3BKGfilOmw.

Listen, and be charmed.

Two lutenists from the 13th century manuscript Cantigas de Sancta Maria of Alfonso the Wise – from https://walterbitner.com/2015/11/26/the-medieval-lute/, where you will find a great deal of information about the history of the lute.
