If the next musical step down from a flute is a lute, what's the one after that? A ute?
Doesn't sound very musical if you ask me.
UPDATE! - Also, come to think of it:
Violincello > Violin > Viol, which is pretty vile, if you ask me.
Cornet > Corn
Not sure about Saxophones, Vibraphones, and Telephones, though.

saxophones, vibraphones, telephones, ... zylophones and
the little Stylophone of the 1960's.
I could fire a shot re the Glockenspiel not being a spiel for the Glock,and whither
the zither?
Also: if a person who plays the flute is a flautist, shouldn't a lute-player be a lautist (and a ute player a autist?)
Then again, I've heard the expression 'lutenist' being used, ergo:
Lutenist
Flutenist
Utenist.
