How are you Ethari? I saw you running around with a lute yesterday and wonder...Who tought you how to play it? Did you made the imstrument yourself?..... And most important: Can you play a song for me? I'd be eager to hear you play!

I’m well, love! And so is my lute. My family loves music more than most. We’re an entire band, really. My father saw my interest in prettywork, which takes talented fingers especially if you’re only five, and started me on lute lessons. Now I can strum most anything from fine silver wire to lutes to the heartstrings of my favorite assassin. He has his dexterity and I have mine.

I’d be happy to play you a song! Let’s see... *fetches lute* How about this lovely tune? It’s called “Killing Me Softly,” and it’s hard to get more Moonshadow than that!

This guy plays multiple stringed instruments and just quietly makes videos playing all sorts of music and posts them on YouTube.

I found this guy who transposes a bunch of classical pieces for strings, such as mandolin and ukelele. It's just funny to hear very serious music played on uke. This is Bach on uke. I love this stuff.
