Bard’s tool of the trade? (4)

I believe the answer is:

lute

(Other definitions for lute that I've seen before include "Subject to drugs" , "Stringed instrument shaped like a halved egg" , "Plucked, pear-shaped instrument" , "instrument that minstrel played" , "Old stringed instrument with a pear-shaped body" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
