You just own six lutes.
Also, you did not mention that you built most of them yourself.

Hmm. I never thought I'd need to defend my status as a working lute
player because I have a 'collection' of six lutes (4 of which I built).
So- if i reduce the collection down to one single, silly seven course,

Yes, but they are not "collecting" lutes I guess. They have them
because
they can play the music intended for it.
Lute collectors seem mostly wealthy amateurs :)
If I don't play an instrument enough, I give it away or sell it.
