damaged audio... so sad...

[@michaelistoma8356]

Why had he licked his fingers before playing?

[@miqbri]

The lute is usually played with fingertips and dry fingertips sound scratchy. That's why you often seen players lick their fingers or wipe their foreheads for just a minuscule amount of 'face oil'..

HOW TO FIX AUDIO: just plug in Headphones.
