I have used a piece of rubbery shelf/drawer liner on my lap. It's
designed to cushion and prevent slippage. Not all that attractive, but it
gets the job done. May be available in a couple of colors, but mine is an

Sorry, but I don't get why one would want or need hands-off stability-
(well, one excellent reason- handling drinks & hors d'oeuvres during
the gig, but not off on a proper break). My stability-ability for
holding the lute is precisely due to RH arm, wrist, and hand
