This is why I prefer 3.5e - I could just drop a single skill point in lute and be done with it.

Yeah. That's why I suggested the potential of Performance skill. If you want to play an instrument, you have to pick it as a Proficiency. But, then again, having certain Backgrounds give it for free would make it so if you care about playing an instrument, you could just pick a background that gives it to you.
