Why will she not take Pantea's Flute?

Question

I found Pantea's Flute before the quest was given to me. Now she will not accept it from me, and it says I still need to go find it. What do I do now? Is this a glitch? I have the game on PC if that helps. I found a post about the lute in the same set of quests, but they just needed to get rid of the item while I need the item to complete the quest. So I don't think deleting it will help.

Answer

Yes, it's a bug caused by retrieving the flute before the taking the quest. PC players might be able to fix by using

setstage bardscollegeflute 40

Hope this helps :)
