If by "lute proper" you mean "the lute as it was built and played from 1500 to 1800," your assumption is incorrect. The lute-like instruments popular in Germany early in the century were not built or played like historical lutes. The people building and playing them did not know a fraction as much as most of us know about the historical lute, and were not really concerned with recreating historical lute music.
