# lute
|
|
|
|
## Definition:
|
|
|
|
A lute is a small, stringed, musical instrument that the Israelites used when they worshiped God.
|
|
|
|
* A lute is very similar to a modern-day acoustic guitar, having a wooden sound box and an extended neck on which strings are strung.
|
|
* In playing a lute, certain strings are held down with the fingers of one hand while these and other strings are plucked or strummed with the other hand.
|
|
* The number of strings varied, but the Old Testament specifically mentions instruments that had ten strings.
