lutanist

Here was also that rare lutanist, Dr. Wallgrave; but nothing approached the violin in Nicholao's hand.

When they asked him who he was, he answered, a lutanist, nor did the trial belie his profession.

He succeeded Henry Lawes as Court lutanist, and held other positions, and evidently stood high in favour.

Instead of dropping down dead on the lute for envy, she thought it better to run away with the lutanist for love.
